TILLY was surprised when the door opened and Kiho entered the room. He was out of breath as if he ran to get to her.
[He definitely did.]
"Kiho," Tilly greeted her husband with a smile. She noticed that he was checking her from head to toe for any physical injury. He looked relieved when he saw that she was physically fine. "You're here."
Kiho closed the door behind him and ran towards her. He sat on the edge of the bed and hugged her tight, burying his head against her neck. She smiled and hugged him back. Ah, her husband's masculine scent and cool body made her feel like she was "home," at last.
"You're alive," Kiho whispered in relief. "Thank you for being alive, Tilly."
"I'm okay, Kiho," Tilly assured him while gently patting his back. "I heard about the attack at the castle. Are you okay? Please tell me you're not hurt."
