Scene LXVII

Staring into her eyes, Aslak stayed as composed to the graze of their lips.

She would return his gaze, sometimes hesitating to the wish of forfeiting it out of shyness. Yet Ewelina persevered, out-struck by the hue of his eyes that had remained fixated on hers for so long.

Lastly, recognizing the effort of the woman, his hand took her cheek as the other squeezed her hand and pulled to make her lean again… Kissing her while looking into her drowsy eyes as his lips sucked on hers to slowly separate.

"We are going back. So we leave it here for now."

She had followed his distance as he separated. Hypnotized by the thrill of finding the heat in his hues as their flesh grazed each other. Regardless, attentive to his decision, Ewelina came back to seat properly on her feet as his words demanded, nodding lightly while still meeting his eyes.

They continued to watch and lightly touch each other.
