Where have you been?

Receiving no response or any movements from him made me tighten my grip around him. Even if he refused, I wouldn't let him go.

"Tear my entire shoulders apart if you want to leave." I blurted out in a whisper.

I pursed my lips upon realization. However, I thought it was better that I spoke my thoughts aloud.

When Sam put his hand on my linked hands resting on his abdomen, I tightened my grip.

"I won't let you go off on you own again." I murmured, puffing my cheeks.

I felt his back trembled slightly before I heard his faint laugh. Upon sensing he had calmed down a bit, I took a step back as he unlinked my hands.

Slowly, Sam turned around and faced me. I looked up, blinking. He was neither smiling nor frowning. He's just staring at me.

"Come here." He whispered, spreading his arms as I melted into his arms.

I felt satisfied that his dissatisfaction moments ago died down. He's so warm, and I felt snugly in his arms.
