CHAPTER 108: Come Back Home

  Sebastian

  As I stood outside her door, I took a deep breath and knocked, trying to compose myself. My mind was racing, thinking of all the things I wanted to say to her and my heart was beating loud. My chest was heaved with tension and the urgency to talk to her, to see her face and grasp the one possible opportunity to pull her in my arms again as if time itself was running out and this was my only chance.

  The wait felt like an eternity until finally, she opened the door.

  "Sebastian..." Other than the surprise on her face, I couldn't read anything else but her red eyes surely said that she had been crying.

  The sight of her left me speechless for a moment, but I gathered my courage and managed to stammer out a greeting, "Hey."

  I comfortably tucked my hands in the pockets of my overcoat, barely managing to stay still.

  "You were supposed to leave today," She sniffled, wiping her cheek with the back of her hand to erase any possible traces of tears.
