At that moment it seems like she became deaf, not able to hear the surrounding, only Jacobs words. And now that Jacob was done talking, she can only hear her heartbeat becoming faster and louder.
Jacob noticed that J was in a trance. He raised his hand and reached out to touch her face. "Honey…"
J was startled to hear Jacob speak again. Although she didn't hear clearly what he said, she sensed the gentle tone that he used. As she didn't know how to react or what to say, she remained speechless and in a daze.
Jacob started to become uneasy, "Hey… Honey… are you…"
J was startled again when she heard Jacob speak again but this time, he seemed to be worried. She didn't let him finish what he was saying instead she crossed the distance between them and circled both her arms around Jacob's waist and buried her face into Jacob's chest. She felt as if a great burden was lifted from her shoulder.
