CHAPTER TWENTY

"Shola?!"

Standing at the door, Shola could feel her tear glands beginning to open up again as a rush of fluid began to flow, but she didn't want to cry anymore. Holding her eyes wide open because she knew, one blink and everything would come pouring down.

"Samuel…" Her shivering voice trailed off, laced with a sense of relief.

Able to see the glisten in her eyes and the lack of proper sleep, Samuel creased his brows, "Have you been crying?"

The question having a strong catalytic effect on her, Shola's face immediately squeezed up as her forehead furrowed and her lower lip sucked in a little.

"Samuel!!" She launched at him with a hug and her tears finally running free. "You fool… where have you been since?"

"But…"

"Shut up! Just hold me!" Shola sobbed as she created comfort for herself in his arms, squeezing even tighter as her claws clamped unto Samuels body.

"I will never let go." He closed his eyes in her hold, remembering what it was like being with her again.
