She is missing me.

"Is it… done…?" Evane questioned with a shocked look on her face.

"Hmm? Do you not like it?" Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face as he hugged his wife from behind.

"No… I was just… shocked…

It has been so long…"

Evane spoke, a strange expression appearing on her face.

After all, this was only the second time she had met Nux since they were separated. For her, it was only slightly more than 2 months, so it wasn't that big of a problem, but for Nux…

"It has been a long time indeed…"

Nux spoke as a relieved sigh escaped from his mouth… and as if to show how tired he was… his eyes closed as he rested his chin on Evane's shoulder.

Evane gently rubbed his cheek.

Nux's body relaxed even more.

He has stayed in this place for 178 years now.
