Perfect breakthrough

This day... was weird. 

When Claire woke up next to Tim, she nearly jumped out of bed in panic. In the end, however, rather than escaping to get herself dressed up... 

She ended up just... lying there and watching his sleeping face for so long, that she completely lost track of time. 

Then, Tim woke up, they got dressed, and moved on with their day... Only to end up when she became his teacher and taught Tim the basics of cultivation that pretty much every cultivator knew before they advanced beyond the first cultivation stage of Qi gathering. 

But with all of that said...

'What?'

"Would you be willing to trust me for just a moment?"

Claire looked up and into Tim's determined eyes. 

There was something in his face... No, it was something in those deep eyes of his that prevented the girl from looking away or, for that matter, taking her hand out of his hold.
