Upon seeing his familiar handsome face, somehow, Cecil felt something warm embracing her entire being. It comforted her, whispering to her as if she could finally relax now and there was no need to be so wary anymore.
There was no need to put up such a tight guard around her anymore.
She did not even realise how tense she was.
The pain on her shoulder slowly faded away.
This feeling of safety and relaxing around his presence, it was something that Cecil felt she had experienced somewhere before...probably a long, long time ago. She faltered, taking a step back and trying her best not to stumble.
Xue.
Her mind called out to him once more, her heart skipping a beat as she maintained eye contact with the two men. The two of them proceeded to smile at her, one toothy and the other somewhat enigmatic.
It didn't matter.
They were all the same person.
There was only one thought running through her weary mind.
I really want to collapse into his arms now.
