"I missed you so much, Ary."
"Hmm?" Ariel closed her eyes and shuddered upon hearing Damien's hushed voice. Goosebumps ran down her spine when his warm breath continuously tickled her shoulder.
Damien tilted his head and softly pressed his cheek against Ariel's. And he repeated what he said earlier, "I missed you."
Ariel gulped and nervously laughed. Her body was still stiff because she hadn't expected Damien to suddenly wrap her from behind and show his affection like that.
It was not that she didn't like the surprise love attack. She liked it. However, since all this was still new, she wasn't yet used to receiving warm hugs and sweet talks.
And although her heartbeat was escalating at an unprecedented rate, she suppressed her nervousness and tried to speak normally, "But we just met yesterday. And the day before… And the day before that day… In fact, we haven't been apart for weeks now."
