Edwin and Ruth were about to share their first kiss after confessing their love for each other. When their lips were only a few centimetres apart, Edwin's body stiffened, his eyes darkened.
It was a good thing that Ruth had her eyes closed, in the anticipation of their first kiss. Her eyes flew open when she lost his warmth around her. She saw him facing the other side by showing his back to her.
Ruth was confused and still in the daze. She did not understand what happened.
"E-Edwin?" She slowly took a step forward and placed her hand on his back.
She could feel his tensed muscles twitching under her touch. She was shocked to see that his wound had almost healed and only scars left. But how?
She was taken aback when he whirled around speedily and began picking one of the shirts she had thrown previously on the floor.
"Edwin what is going on?" She asked desperately.
He avoided meeting her eyes, for he knew he could not bear to see the hurt and disappointment in them.
