A storm of emotions clouded his reasoning and rational judgment, and Alex only looked stunned at Crista.
She placed a hand upon his chest and said, "We have so much to speak about, Alex, let's go inside...."
Alex felt his heart thump, and he blushed and nodded.
"Crista, how are you here?" Alex gently asked as he followed her inside.
Crista placed a hand upon her chin and contemplated.
She then looked at him directly in the eyes and exclaimed, "I don't know, Alex, I don't know...."
Alex felt a bit drowsy when he heard her voice but he assumed it was because he hadn't seen her for so long and missed her so dearly.
They navigated through the palace and Crista halted in a large bedroom.
"Let's...rest..." Crista said suggestively, and her voice had a certain allure.
Alex couldn't help but nod, and he sat upon the large bed.
There was a strange smell in the room, that Alex recognized as a mix of agarwood and lavender.
The smell permeated into his nose and relaxed his body.
