I always try to stay away from you. However, the more I try, the more attracted I am to you.
Every time I'm near you, I always remind myself not to expect more.
Until in the end I have to lie to myself again by saying that… just looking at you I'm satisfied.

Rion walked slowly towards Odette who stood while looking at the rain outside. He opened his robes and enveloped her with the robe, then he hugged the girl from behind.
"You're sick. The cold is not good for you," he said with concern. Odette could only look up and glanced at him with a weak smile.
"Thank you," Odette said softly, raising one hand to hold the cheek of the man who was currently giving her warmth.
Rion's smile widened. The man took Odette's hand and kissed it, then he also kissed her eyes and lips. He tightened his embrace and looked at the pouring rain outside.
