The night came and Zero fell asleep. But Lia was awake and sat in the living room with a cup of tea.
"You're not going to sleep? didn't I tell you to rest?" Yano's playful voice appeared and Lia instantly moved to the other side of the sofa, "Don't tell me what to do."
"Lia," Yano stood before Lia and rubbed her back. Lia's lips formed a thin line but she couldn't escape from him as he sat behind and then sneakily placed a kiss on her ear. Lia jolted up and the cup in her hand almost fell to the ground if it wasn't for Yano catching it and putting it on the table.
Lia glared at him before hissing, "Don't do that again!"
"Ok, ok," Yano coaxed her and Lia felt a slight sting hearing how he so easily complied to the request.
"Are you ok? If you feel down and want to cry, you can do that. My arms are here to comfort you."
Lia rolled her eyes. His sly remarks were the same as always.
