The Two Of Them

Shirley's mouth went slightly agape as she dumbfoundedly stared at Davis. She couldn't believe the words that came out of his mouth that she felt it was like a dream. Her lips kept quivering as she held the hem of his robe with her trembling hands while her face changed into one of heightened expectation.

"Really? You really love me...? From when...?"

Hearing Shirley's longing voice made Davis unable to endure feeling affection for her. It was magical, different than what he felt for Tina Roxley. It came from his heart, not at all strange or unnatural, invoking a joyous emotion in his soul rather than the hysterical confusion he felt for Tina Roxley.

That made him feel unreserved and more open that he couldn't help but resplendently smile.
