I enjoyed our current situation. Serina existed in my embrace and our hearts were beating as one.
However, I was painfully aware that there are few things we need to clear up before moving forward. If we don't, we will risk going back to where we were yesterday, and last year, and three years before, and I couldn't live another day without Serina in my life.
I needed to explain what happened so that she doesn't doubt me in the future.
"Serina…", I called, and she nodded lazily in response. Did she fall asleep? "Are you with me?"
"Absolutely."
I loved her answer, almost how much I love her. Is this a good time for a love confession? I should probably leave that for later.
"Serina, we need to talk." I forced the words out of my mouth.
"Do we have to?", she whined.
No. We can stay like this forever. "Yes, we do."
