Samuel and Portia left the room and Jerlina turned and hugged Jeremy. He missed his usual pine scent for a while and smells like medicine but she felt the familiar tickle in her heart as she hugged him.
It's not the pine scent that I loved, rather it is the fact that I am near the man who loves me deeply that made me all excited. I'd feel the same even if he reeks of sewage it seems... Jerlina thought.
Jeremy placed a kiss on her head.
"Are you tired, Jeryl?" he rubbed her back. Her eyes looked tired and he didn't want her to stress herself. He knew she wants to look for Rose, but they can wait for the morning for that.
Maybe I shouldn't tell her about the ten missed calls I have from Mikhail!
"Hmm," Jerlina nuzzled in his chest. "Let's see if we can ask Gordon about Rose. Mikhail might be waiting," she looked around.
There seemed to be no one in that big room except for him and her and that made her a bit mischievous.
