Chapter 137: Shackles
The sun rose as a canopy of gold, bright amid the blue, bidding the stars to take their nightly rest. As darkness surrendered, every color changed from tinges of charcoal to a vibrancy. The sky has softened to a blue and the clouds have blushed like a ripe mango. The air is delicate and cool to kiss our skin with moisture.
The sudden brightness made the two figures, sitting on top of a tree, to squint their eyes. Usui held his hand over his face while his other hand shielded Hazel from the sudden brightness. Hazel opened her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering like a butterfly, to stare at the shadow hovering over her face.
She parted her mouth slightly before glancing at the person beside her who was staring ahead. Her eyes trembled as it moistened before she turned her head away from him.
