Charlton stood up when he heard the doorknob turning and when the door finally opened, he could no longer contain his smile for he saw that behind it was Serena.
Serena has not been feeling well, but when Mildred informed her that Leonard was requesting her presence in the drawing room, she changed her clothes to join him. Thus, when she opened the door to the drawing room, she was caught completely by surprise to see that instead of Leonard, Charlton was there smiling at her. Not knowing what to do, she was rooted on the spot.
Charlton seeing her unmoving was quick to approach her. He grabbed her hand to pull her in for an embrace as he pushed the door close. "I missed you." He whispered as he kissed the top of her head.
