All that matters

The hug changed many things for them. There was awkwardness at the beginning yet as time went by, they wanted to be close more. They now spent all of their time together. After school, Cindy would go to the garden to wait for him and he would also come when he was done with his classes and they would spend the rest of the day and some part of the night in each other's company.

Cindy would always have a book she would read from and she did so loudly. The breeze was always soft when they were together and the moon was so gentle.

Alexander would stare at her for hours marvelling about how a person could be so beautiful. Cindy never felt weird when he looked at her. instead, she felt very loved and comforted.

On her eighteenth birthday, Alexander brought her a bouquet of flowers. They were in the garden still yet he went to find some of the rarest flowers for her and tied them up in a beautiful bunch.
