With her face so close to his heart, Xiu could clearly hear his heartbeat. Oddly enough, his erratic heartbeat managed to calm the storms rising in her own heart. All those weird, nonsensical ideas in her head were finally gone. All that was left was a comfortable feeling.
In a matter of seconds, she fell in love with the way his heartbeat managed to pull her out of her loneliness.
"Sweets, let go so we can go home now," said Darren but Xiu tightened her arms around him as much as she could. The way she was hugging was clearly screaming how much she needed him. Xiu shook her head in reply and he added, "You don't wanna go home or don't wanna let go?"
"Don't wanna let go," came a muffled voice in reply making him giddy for some reason.
"But if you won't let go, how will we go home?" he asked stroking her hair gently and lovingly.
Xiu shook her head again and said, "I don't know. But I'm not letting go."
"Why?"
