Alyssa felt like she could properly breathe again when she saw Elias walking her way. She moved off of the fountain's edge and lifted her hand up in a subtle wave.
Elias smiled back at her as he nodded to her. A silver necklace hung around his neck, resting above the thin material of his black button down.
His hands were tucked into the pockets of his black, slim fit pants.
"Hey," he said with a sympathetic look. He stepped closer to her than she expected him to, and then her arms were around her.
Alyssa's eyes widened at the sudden hug, but she welcomed it and wrapped her arms around him. She drew him in close as she rested her cheek against his chest.
He never felt all that warm, but he was soft and firm at the same time. He felt perfect against her, and she hated the moment that she had to let go of him and step back.
"Thanks for coming. I hope you weren't busy," she told him as she threaded her fingers together in front of her.
