"What are you doing here?" Adam asked with panicked in his voice. He glanced behind him at the door and even went to make sure it was locked before he took large strides towards her. "You know you shouldn't be here right now," he chided, but there was no force to his voice, almost as if he was pleading with her.
"I just wanted to make sure you were okay, nothing more," Maleries said and wrapped her hand around his neck as she hugged him.
Adam stiffened at first, but under the warmth of her body and her care for him, he relaxed, wrapping his hand around her smaller body. "I am fine, Mal," he whispered, and he heard hum. "I am sorry things turned out this way."
She didn't say anything and just continued hugging him.
