Only One Lazy Bum

As soon as Darren's hardly audible voice reached Xiu's ear, she threw her head back and laughed out happily. Darren didn't know what was this funny about his simple but very obvious reply. However, he was fascinated by that laughter of hers, so he didn't say anything. As long as she was happy, why did it matter what was so funny?

Her laughter was a soft breeze tinkling the wind chimes on a warm sunny day. It made one want to lay back and just relax. It was soothing and he couldn't help wanting her to continue laughing.

When Xiu stopped laughing, she said to him, "Regan, do you know how obvious your answer was?" He blinked his eyes in response and she went on, "It's weird but I think my heart is only willing to believe. Only when you say you'll never leave me, this heart of mine becomes your advocate."

- 'Where can I go? After all, I'm still meant to come back home. To you; my one and only home.'
