"Aw, man." I place a hand on my chest, 'you gave me a scare.'
I lean a hand on the wall and take measured breaths. The guest was standing right behind me as I turned back and I collided into his chest. Even now, he stands in quite close proximity as I try to regain my composure without stepping back even the slightest.
'Adian.' He whispers harshly and his hands reach out to grab the side of my shoulders. When I meet his eyes, his eyes glimmer strangely, 'By lord, I have missed you so much.'
I feel yanked forward and he moves in closer as well, as though we weren't already close before. He is now miles into my personal space and I am, well, in his arms. He squeezes his arms around me, I am squashed snugly.
'So, so much.' He whispers in my right ear and I shiver at the contact of air on my skin, he adds, 'To death.'
I scrunch my eyebrows together, puzzled at this new development.
Then it clicks.
That's right. It's right like this.
