Rose smiled when she heard him. "Thank you. You always know how to make me feel better."
"Thank you! I'm happy you think that way," Rune was all smiles when he heard her compliment. "Let's go back."
He took Rose's hand and lifted her from her swing. The girl shrieked because she didn't expect him to lift and carry her all of a sudden.
"Hey.. what are you doing?" She laughed while wrapping her arms around his neck. "You startled me."
"I just feel like doing it," Rune replied with a grin.
That's right. He didn't need to kiss Rose in public to show people how he felt about her. People would be able to see it from the little things he did for her.
"Thank you," Rose whispered and buried her face on his chest. She felt comforted and consoled. Somehow, the burden that she faced today didn't feel so bad anymore.
