While they had breakfast, Xiehan finally had the chance to have a good talk with Lanni.
"Did something happen?" He asked. She was not herself the previous day.
"It's nothing. I was just feeling blue about your departure." She confessed.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say. When he announced his departure, she had seemed so nonchalant that he almost believed that it didn't make her in the slightest bit unhappy. Who would have thought that her feelings would later come raging out like a flood.
He pulled her onto his shoulder to pat her. "Don't think about it. The days will pass by before you even realize it."
She did not doubt this. She knew that the hardest part was his departure. Soon after, the time would fly and he would be back in no time. She couldn't help wondering how the wives of military officials felt every time their husbands had to leave.
