“R…Why have you been avoiding me? You’ve been so cold…” I complained softly.
Reiner did not reply but he didn’t let go of me, so I decided to continue on. The warmth of his hand on my back and waist and his embrace around my body gave me the confidence that I needed to press on.
“You have no idea how lonely and lost I felt. Why do you have to be so mean to me? I’m not going to go back home; I’m staying here no matter what…” I said determinedly.
If I went back home, then that would be the end of us. He does understand that, right? If that’s the case, then I’ll never go home. I felt my brows furrow as my stubborn streak quickly took over. Reiner looked at me with a concerned expression, but he didn’t say anything. It was as if he was waiting for me to say all that I had to say and I appreciated that. At least this time he was willing to listen to me and if that was the case then, I’m not going to hold back my words any more.
