Under the Radar

"Huh?"

Lianna blinked her eyes a few times, unsure of if Jayce was being serious or not.

"Y-You're not messing with me right? Cos it's not funny…" 

Jayce shook his head, his clear blue eyes staring into hers.

"Then everything I saw and heard were real?" She asked in a small voice, her mind reviewing all that she had witnessed.

"Yes. I'm telling you the truth. I survived through the Apocalypse for 10 years before I regressed back to 3 months before Cataclysm descended." He let the words sink in, before continuing, "This is why I knew so much and could increase everyone's strength."

Lianna was speechless for a moment, seemingly deep in thought. Then without warning she moved forward and wrapped her arms around his bare chest, hugging him deeply.

"I'm sorry you had to go through all of that." She said with emotion. Jayce could feel warm tears running down his chest and stomach.
