Ian was caught off hard. His grip on her hand hardened, as she pressed her lips. Was he imagining things now? He blinked as it felt real, her tender lips still tasting the same. But before he could respond, Mia withdrew realizing that she was crossing the line.
For these many years, a barrier had been formed between, the one she built herself and suddenly she wanted to have him back, to see them reconcile and live like in the past.
She immediately took a step back, as reality hit her hard. They needed to act like strangers, and treat each other coldly for him to live in peace once she leaves this world. But, would he? She thought looking at him and later cursed herself! She was acting insane now!
"We need to leave!" She hurriedly took a step back but Ian didn't let go of her hand. No, he had endured enough and now that he saw she was breaking the wall between them, he didn't wish to let go of her.
