354 Will you marry me?

Leo heard a car pull up in his driveway and he came out to know who it was but his feet stopped when he saw her; Claire… what was she doing?

Before he could complete the question in his mind, he saw her running towards him. His legs rooted to a spot as he stared at her in surprise as she approached him;

Claire ran as fast as her legs could carry; her heart racing. She didn't want to think about anything else now, as the only thought in her mind was to hug him. She had missed him so much. Even though they met weeks ago, her heart wasn't at peace. This was the first time in months she was at peace without a single worry about anything and she just wanted to be in his arms.

Leo watched her run towards him, and his arms opened reflexively, hugging her back as her hands went around him.

Claire panted as she stayed in his embrace, her eyes shutting.

Leo didn't want to ask any questions as he held her and cherished the moment, his lips kissing her hair.
