172 Rebirth

It's fascinating how someone stays away from our sight but gets stuck in our minds. Darren might have been far away from her but Xiu couldn't stop herself from thinking about him. And the more she thought about him, the more she ended up missing him.

Xiu's simple two words 'Show up!' showed how much she was missing him. In fact, she herself didn't realize it that she had missed his presence. She was holding her head in her hands when her phone buzzed again. At first, she hesitated but eventually took the phone to check his reply. She was curious to learn what he sent.

There were only four words written in the text and reading those words left Xiu's heart in the chaos of emotions that she couldn't describe in words. Tears had brimmed up in her eyes making her eyes look glossy but there was a smile on her face as well.
