CHAPTER 142

- HAZEL -

I don’t know when I fell asleep. All I know is that I cried my eyes out that evening and stayed in the comfort of his arms as he consoled me. Letting myself be vulnerable again with him while believing his promise.

I felt dizzy in his arms, felt warmth in his embrace despite the cold evening and for a long while, we just stood there, enjoying our silent company while letting our body language communicate the words our mouths couldn’t and the best part? There was nothing sexual about it.

The day got darker but he never asked to leave, he never showed any sign of discomfort or annoyance. He waited for me till I was ready. Until I said I wanted to go. That’s when Killian asked me if I wanted to head to my dorm or come with him.
