A Moment in Destiny

He felt her little hands were cold and subconsciously frowned. "What's wrong, feeling cold?"

She shook her head, "No, just a bit numb from sitting down too long!"

He sat up and checked her feet, then frowned again, “How come your feet are so cold as well? You need to wear more; it’s winter time, don’t catch a cold!”

As he spoke, he shifted her feet into his thighs to warm them up, he muttered as he moved, “I’ll help warm you up!”

He laid down again, and put her tiny hands on his chest and covered himself with a blanket, then he had on a satisfied look.

Listening to his steady breathing and feeling the comfort from his strong embrace, Sherry felt serenely at ease, as if nothing else in the world could possibly calm her down like this method. It was as though she had found a haven to safely place her life. As long as he was around, there was nothing to be afraid of.

The warmth gradually came in waves and even warmed her heart as well.

Instinctively, Sherry placed her dainty hand on William’s chest. As she felt his sturdy chest muscles, she could not help herself as she stroked it over and over. By the time she realized what she was doing, her hand was already down at his waist.

William took a deep breath, and Sherry quickly recollected herself. The only sound in the room was her flustered breathing. She embarrassingly withdrew her hand from his body, but as soon as she did, she felt a powerful pair of arms held her tightly!

In a panic, she looked up, only to meet William’s eyes, and fell into the deep gaze in his eyes…

Sherry’s face flushed red in an instant, she did not know how to react toward him.

William looked deeply at her for a long time, then gently asked, “Silly girl, sorry to have made you suffer; feeling warmer now?”

Sherry could not suppress her emotions; she did not dare raise her head either. The only thing she could think of was to bury her head on his broad chest. She could hear his heart racing and pounding.

When was the last time since they have huddled together like this?

Sherry nodded her red face, “Feeling much better now, thank you!”

The joy he felt were noticeable even on the corner of his eyes.

He finally had the love of his life in his arms again. He thought that she would never forgive him. Then again, she was far too generous and kind; she never complained, and always took on more responsibilities onto herself. How could he not fall in love with such a woman?
