I watched Bella talk to her mum over the phone. The truth is I wanted to move closer and hug her, but Bella seemed to be angry with me.
"Thank you," Bella said and returned my phone. I could tell she was trying to draw the line with me. Ever since aunty Mary told me about the possibility of Bella being alive, I have thought of a million ways to reunite with her, but I never thought she would be angry with me.
Even if I did something to offend her four months ago, it would be too petty if she was thinking about it. She should at least forget about it when we meet again and let me hug her first. I sighed, Bella always reacts differently.
I took a step closer, and I watched as she withdrew, "Dont come closer," she said. I was shocked. Then I thought of how she had been kidnapped for over four months. The pressure might be too much, she may become sensitive, or perhaps something happens to make her feel uncomfortable with the opposite sex.
