Shadows of Love: Fates Entwined

What is there to be sorry about, and more importantly, how can a person be this light? Hugo thought as he easily lifted Winter onto his back and began to take long strides.

Winter was holding her upper body slightly raised on Hugo's back. Her body swayed back and forth with each of Hugo's quick steps.

In any case, it was incomparably faster than when Winter had been taking small steps. After a few more steps, Hugo spoke brusquely.

"Lean in closer."

"What?"

"It's uncomfortable."

"Oh, okay..."

Winter carefully leaned her upper body against Hugo's broad back.

Through the tight sweater and thin dress, they could feel each other's warm body heat. The angular shoulders and firm back pressed directly against Winter's body.

Inappropriately for the situation, Winter felt at ease. She felt that as long as she was on this broad back, she would always be safe no matter what happened.
