This is something she had been meaning to point out ever since she had told him everything about her and her past.
She stood up, ready to leave him on his own but as she turned around, he grabbed her wrist.
"Stay…"
Was all he said before slowly hugging her waist.
Since he was sitting down, his face was leaning on her stomach.
She raised her hand and patted his head, slowly and gently.
His arms around her waist tightened as she did this and she felt her shirt getting damped.
She looked up at the sky and at the stars that are twinkling brightly.
'You have given us a chance to meet and this chance gave us a chance to heal as well. That is why we will never curse at you or blame you for anything. Instead I am thanking you for letting us heal and become stronger.'
They stayed in that position for who knows how long, she just silently accompanied him as he finally released his emotions that was bottled up for so long.
