"Don't leave me." Jacob was frozen when he heard her muffled voice in between her sobbing. She is crying.
Jacob held her shoulders and pulled himself away from her. Sure enough, her cheeks that's already wet in tears were red as well as her nose. He cupped her face with both his palm and dried her cheeks with his thumb.
"I will never leave you, sweetheart. Even if you told me to. I promise." He promised gently. They were staring deeply into each other's eyes.
In his words, J tried to prevent a sob from coming from her by biting her lower lip. But her action has affected Jacob differently.
"Honey, don't do that," Jacob said with frustration.
"Huh?" J asked innocently.
Jacob groaned. With a misty eye, red cheeks and nose, and full lips that turned red from crying looking especially inviting when she bit it, Jacob didn't understand why she looked more enticing after crying.
