A startling discovery

A week after I returned from school to the fawning of my parents wanting to know everything that happened to me while I was away, Tobi came to visit with a box containing a pair of shiny silver full-stop earrings and my favorite brand of chocolates which had fruits and nuts embedded inside.

Seeing him again was a rush of emotions I didn't even know I could feel all at once.

I wrapped my legs around his waist, hugging him tightly; refusing to let go.

A few minutes passed and I finally decided to disentangle myself from our embrace and talk with him.

 Even though we talked so many times during my brief stay in school, I discovered that we still had new things to say to each other.

It was great how we never ran out of words or conversation topics.

"You know, I've never noticed how

gorgeous your eyes are," I realized. 

"You're not very observant are you?" Tobi said, laughing as he tightened his hold on my waist as we lay on my sofa.
