"You are bullying yourself. Stand up," Arabella demanded.
Ferdinand finally did and Arabella held his hand.
"Let's go inside," she walked to her bed and he followed her obediently. "Sit down."
Ferdinand wondered what she was up to but obediently did.
When Ferdinand was seated on her bed, she sat on his lap and he brightened up. His arms instantly wrapped around her waist.
Arabella gently dried the tears in the corner of his eyes.
Ferdinand watched her silently, still trying to process all the emotions he felt in a matter of several seconds.
