The anticipation she felt was a nervous kind of energy. The seriousness Erwin showed made her anticipate. But she was in a weird position, tip-toeing with their bodies close, almost touching each other.
Erwin's broad chest pressed onto her, and as her head leaned onto his chest, she heard his heart beating fast. Laura's face slightly turned red and wanted to ignore the sound, but she couldn't when she was this close and stuck in his embrace.
There was one thing Laura liked about being in his embrace, and it was his warmth. It reminded her about the past, where she would only embrace herself in the dark—but being in this position would be mortifying if anyone saw them. They were just out of the cottage where everyone could see them, it was embarrassing.
"Uhm Erwin, what is that you need to tell me?" Laura asked in anticipation. Is this the time when he will confess his feelings to her?
