889 889. Discussion

June reached for Noah's naked torso and tried to scratch his skin. Yet, her fingers weren't even able to leave marks on him.

"Sometimes, I wonder what would have happened if you didn't meet Nina," June said, and Noah understood that she was questioning the foundation of their relationship after the recent discovery.

Noah took her hand and pressed it to his heart. The vibration caused by his heartbeat reached her palm, and his words followed that sensation. "Nina might have taught me that I can be with someone, but you are the one that made me question my detachment for the first time."

June revealed a small smile, but she lowered her head. She didn't retract her hand though. She didn't want to lose even a beat of Noah's heart while they were having that discussion.

"Did you learn to be so smooth with words in your past life?" June asked.
