Chapter 164: Change

Seeing the nod, Will smiled completely for the first time in a very long time.

The smile reached his eyes, and as he gazed at Liz's cute expression as she stared at her feet as if she was a schoolgirl that had done some mistake, he felt more joy and euphoria inside him than what had been there for years.

All this time, he had been empty, and now, it felt as if Liz was filling up all those dark places inside him to give him a chance to become whole again.

The silence once again bothered Liz, and made her wonder whether she should have said more like him, instead of just nodding.

Really, she couldn't force away this shyness, even though she was trying. This was the first time she had done something like this in her life, and just remembering Will's skin, the way he had held her and kissed her, and that bulge that had been the rude awakening, she felt hot all over, as if the residual urges of that appetite were still there.
