"Haven't you noticed that you haven't stopped smiling from the moment you arrived here?"

Theodore was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face grew bigger than Ariana thought possible. He held her hand and kissed it tenderly.

"Nothing happened, really. I feel so happy just because you are here with me. That's all."

The continuous sweet words finally melted Ariana's resolve and made her cease her search for answers. Blushing, she protested coquettishly, "Stop it. Why are you acting like such a sweet-talker today?"

After that, she pulled out her hand and lay down. She exhaled a trembling breath and closed her eyes. Her heart was racing, and an indescribable pleasure filled her whole body as if every part of her body was chanting ecstatically.
