Chapter hundred and twenty-four: Winter walk

Knocking on her door, he tried to pull open the door but it proved abortive. He flashed her a bright smile as she unlocked the door and dashed out towards the porch while pulling him along, the things in his hands falling freely on the ground.

"What are you doing here despite this weather?" she whispered immediately she felt they were out of earshot.

By a stroke of luck, the snow had stopped but it was still chilly. He felt wronged with her question and pouted accusingly.

"I weathered the storm for you, you didn't even give me a kiss before asking me such question. I feel so wronged!"

She gave him a quick peck on his cheeks and smiled. "Happy?" he shook his head vehemently and pointed at his lips.

She surreptitiously glanced around before leaning towards him for a sweet long kiss but they were interrupted by the opening of the door. A head popped out to inquire on her reason for absence and if all was well.
