Daniel Marshall was tightly holding Olivia Jenkins.
With a displeased frown, Olivia pulled away from Daniel's grasp, "Stop it, I've got to go now."
Instantly, Daniel held Olivia even tighter, his deep, slightly hoarse voice sounding pleading as he softly said, "Honey, just let me hold you for a second, just a brief moment."
Stunned, Olivia paused briefly as a fleeting spark of affection flashed in her bright eyes.
They stayed like that for a while, Olivia embracing Daniel, patting him on the back.
Daniel looked up, bestowed a tender kiss on Olivia's forehead, and let her go.
"Be careful on the road, honey."
"Alright, thanks! Don't forget to eat regularly, every day."
A handsome smile spread across Daniel's face, transforming him entirely, "I'll remember, wife."
After a moment of eye contact, Olivia left.
Although some of the resentment in her heart had dissipated, she was not completely open yet and at that moment, she didn't know what to say.
