"But please come back, please let me make it up to you. I'm begging you right now, please."
He had pleaded and kept pleading as he once again embraced her tight, but at the same time with carefulness as if he would break her. He kept pleading and apologizing over and over again.
Slowly, very slowly, the light in Russel's eyes returned and upon feeling that familiar warmth. The same warmth she felt when he was about to go and study.
The tears she had been stopping, the tears she tried her best to stop came rushing out and she started wailing like a child while hugging Harvey back as tight as she can.
Amber, who heard this, looked back at her and tears came together with a smile, as Ashton pulled her head to his chest looking to where Harvey and Russel was.
"I'm sorry, it's fine now. I am here now, I'll stay here always, don't go again. Please don't leave like that again," he kept whispering as he caressed her back and the back of her head.
