Jim had no idea that exiliration could overtake his heart from simply having a conversation with someone. Not just anyone, but Mercy. It felt like since she woke up and have been ignoring him, he had been living in gloom. However, with her coy smile and that twinkle of mischief in her eyes, his entire world lit up with happiness.
Secondly, she had been trying to explain what he did to make her cold towards him. Well - she had been trying to say that it was actually something that he had not done or said. Jim mentally promised to get to that soon enough. As for that moment, he wanted to swim in the sparkling joy of Mercy speaking - having a conversation with him again.
