" Come here!" As though he has been waiting for those words all this time, he strode towards her burying his head in her neck.
He wasn't one to shade tears easily. However, he let it fall silently on her shoulder. He knew that she wouldny judge.
She never does. That was why she was their angel. Right now, he needs an angel before he goes to retrieve his dark angel.
Lily said nothing. She let him cry. More than anyone else, she understood his pain. Not because she had a similar experience but because she felt it too.
Jibril and Lily stayed in that state for a while until he was done. When they separated, she wiped his tears off and led him to a love seat in her room.
It was late at night. Both Samia and Angelo have retired to their rooms leaving her to rest as well. Since the two have literally covered her attention during the day, Jibril took his chance now.
Being selfish is encouraged sometimes.
