Lysander heart raced, hearing those words from Mia. He even thought me must have imagined it.
His eyes widened and he struggled to process the weight of what she just said.
" I miss you too."
The words echoed in his mind, filling him with a mix of disbelief and elation.
Lysander quickly got up and joined her on the bed.
"S….say that again," he smiled, tucking stray strands of hair behind her ear.
"I miss you," her voice was soft, trembling yet filled with so much emotions.
Lysander couldn't contain himself. A wave of happiness burst through him and he pullled Mia into a tight hug. It was as if a dam had burst, releasing all the love and longing he had held back during her disappearance and silence.
Without thinking, he leaned in closer, his heart racing with excitement and relief.
He gently cupped her face, staring deep into her eyes. The darkness that had loomed over him for so long slowly began to dissipate.
