......
The two of them hugged each other tightly, and neither of them spoke.
The bedroom was very quiet, only their heartbeats and the sounds of their breathing could be heard.
Celeste did not fall asleep.
She knew that Gary had not fallen asleep either.
However, neither of them spoke. The two of them leaned against each other and cherished the peace they had after the passion.
After a long while, Gary raised his eyes and looked into her eyes. His eyes were filled with great guilt and apology.
He wanted to say something, but he stopped on second thought.
Just from his expressions alone, Celeste could tell that he was in a dilemma. She calmed herself down and adjusted her expression.
"Celeste," Gary finally spoke.
Celeste responded, she continued to nestle in his arms, she did not look into his conflicted expression which was handsome nonetheless.
