HIS VOICE STARTLED HER as she enters her home, not all expecting to have a visitor at this hour.   &   of all people to come at this time, she didn’t think he’d be there. the warrior wasn’t quite sure just how long it had been since they last saw one another, the exorcist always seemingly running off to where ever his talents were needed. deep down she knew it was selfish of her to be upset, but she can’t help the rush of emotions that threatened to explode from within her. she missed him yes, but she was also deeply hurt   &   upset. just because she understood what his work entailed didn’t mean she appreciated his sudden disappearance. a deep breath is taken as she takes her first steps toward him, confidence brimming in her stance as she stops just short of a foot away. eyes blazing with fury look directly into his, threatening a negative reunion once she’d open her mouth. but it never comes. eyes ablaze were soon extinguished as she meets his gaze, noticing the softness in his expression. it was unlike something she has seen in him before   &   therefore it catches her off-guard. could it be possible that   ——   he missed her too ? despite her better judgment, her initial plan is soon tossed aside, arms wrapping around his shoulders   &   pulling him into a deep embrace. she can’t help but SURRENDER herself to him, too deep in her feelings   &   eager to forgive. deep down she knew he was going to LEAVE again, but for now   ——   she would enjoy this. her poor heart would have to SUFFER.

       “   THANK YOU.   “ her voice is muffled against his chest, rivers of sadness threatening to flow before him. a broken smile is cast in his direction, petite hand grasping his in search of his warm touch. she missed his touch. “   do you   ——   do you want to join me ?   “

          (   ways to say i love you   |   accepting !   )
