"What about you? Are you okay?"
Varell looked far away looking for an answer from Mia's eyes who were now looking at him with an expression that he couldn't guess.
"I'm happy when you're happy..." Varell finally answered.
The answer made Mia open her eyes slightly wider, Varell could see it seemed like Mia was surprised by the answer.
Mia then came closer, she smiled and touched Varell's chest gently. With a slight tilt of her face to get a closer look at Varell, Mia smiled again, "Me too... So, be happy honey!" Mia whispered.
She leaned her head right on Varell's chest now as if she was hearing Varell's heartbeat.
Worry still surrounds Varell's heart, he still can't calm his restless heart because he feels that all this peace is just a pretense.
Mia had let go of her arms, she took Varell to the sofa and turned on the television and without hesitation, Mia lay on Varell's lap.
