"Uhm no, I…" Irene began but failed to figure out how to eliminate Christina's misunderstanding but just as she prepared herself to blurt out the truth, Christina's thumb rubbed her knuckles drawing her attention to their hands before she looked at Christina.
"I can't tell you what you've given me, Sweetheart! I can't tell you but just know that, because of you, my stress has died a relaxing death today. Come here," Christina called Irene to come closer and dropped a kiss on Irene's cheek after she leaned down.
Irene was just as baffled as she could have been. Everytime she began to clear the misunderstanding, Christina would say or do something that would make her shut her mouth.
"But hold on. How did you bring me here?" Christina asked once Irene sat back on the stool, realizing that in the unexpected joy of meeting Irene, she had forgotten about the main point.
