I don't know how

Having her arms around the one person who meant the most to her in life, was an astonishing feeling. Just staying in her warm embrace for seconds, minutes, or maybe even hours was all she could ask for. They stood in a crowded parking lot with tourists crackling around them and people accidentally bumping their carts together.

Usually, she didn't like to show affection in public. She didn't want anyone to think of them weirdly or to be the main person that everybody looked at. Mostly it had nothing to do with other people and everything to do with her overthinking brain.

But at that moment, Nyxie didn't wish to be anywhere else.

The dreams had haunted her all the way back home, and even while napping on the plane, she had seen the one face she so passionately had missed.

It was ridiculous, considering they had only been apart for four days. But it did feel like a lifetime.
