Chapter 38: CHAPTER 38

Now here she was, sitting with him on a flat stone. She was comfortably positioned between his legs, and he continued using his body as her personal blanket and draped himself all over her back and shoulders.

The ambience, the silence, the warmth, the starry sky, him there… everything… was perfect. It was like she was camping with him in the middle of the woods. As if they were in the middle of nowhere. Not a single car even passed by to disturb the quietness that seemed to envelop them.
