Be cautious

Mara went down to the living room.

Wanting to know if everyone was asleep or still awake. As she stepped into the living room, the man leaning on the couch headboard with eyes closed fell into her sight. His brows were pulled together tightly. Looking dejected.

"Oli?" The young woman's voice brought the man back from swimming in ocean of thoughts. His eyes wide opened as he quickly turned around to see the young woman. "Mara!" Oliver's eyes widened, standing up from the couch to run towards the young woman.

In a blink, Mara was already between the man's strong arms. Blinking several times in puzzlement. "What's wrong?" She questioned and pushed the man's chest to release the embrace. Their eyes locked, staring into each other's eyes deeply.
