Heart To Heart

"Serious question," smiled Zhao Jun Jie as he continued to clap slowly from where he sat on the white couch. "Is that how I looked at you when we first met?"

Wu Bai Hee sat down on one of the other couches with a sigh. "You are going to be a bit more specific," she said, checking her nails. It was almost a relief to not have to be perfect every second of the day. 

"That glazed-eyed, 'I'll believe everything you say' type of look. See it as an outsider really is something else," continued Zhao Jun Jie as he placed his hands on his knee and looked at the woman across from him. 

He could still remember the moment he first saw her when she walked into his office. She looked so pitiful. Her hands were dirty, and her clothes were practically rags. But he still remembered that feeling… as if he had finally found why his heart beat.
