Ever since Leon left his father's room, he had been waiting for Ella for more than forty minutes to join him. The wait had been arduous especially after he left her in her irked mood.
The fact that she first rejected his touch and averted his gaze made his heart bleed. He couldn't imagine the hurt she must have been feeling to have acted in that manner.
Hence, when she gestured for him to leave back in his father's room, he decided to wait in their bedroom for her. He knew she was still mad at him and he wanted to make amends.
He was still pacing around his room, lost and suffocating in his thoughts when a gentle tap on the door jolted him back to reality.
Before he had time to walk towards the door, the door nub twisted and Ella opened the door.
She stepped in calmly and shut the door behind her.
"Phew!"Leon breathed a sigh of relief.
