"It's over, I promise." Michael patted my head.
I looked into Michael's eyes. His beautiful dark brown eyes were filled with exhaustion. I could see the red veins in them.
Michael must have been looking for me all day. Thinking of this, the tears I had held back for a long time finally flowed. They landed on Michael's face.
Michael stuck out his tongue and gently licked it, swallowing my tears.
Then, he looked at me with deep affection. I lowered my head and kissed his lips. I tasted the salty and bitter taste of my tears.
"I miss you," I said softly.
"I miss you too." Michael kept staring into my eyes. The anxious look on his face seemed to have disappeared because of my words. I saw the corner of his mouth curl up slightly.
I smiled at Michael with tears in my eyes.
During my day of wandering, I didn't have much time to be afraid.
