Chapitre 199: It's been lonely

''I just want to hug you. '' 

He swallowed gazing scorchingly at her. Claire's gaze wandered;

''Okay,'' she muttered silently, taking a step forward she embraced him, her arms going around his waists. Leo hugged her back, holding her closely and lovingly, not wanting to let go.

Claire's heart raced against her chest, he was hugging her in a very strange way; what was wrong with him today? she wondered.

''Alright, call me when you get home, okay?''

Leo whispered; fighting the urge to kiss her hair; Claire nodded, her cheeks rubbing against his chest and after a moment of silence, he let her go.

Her face burned with shyness and she quickly turned to her car, not wanting to look at his face.

''Get home safely; '' she said and entered her car quickly and started the ignition, driving off speedily.
