Bab 240: A Moment Of Still (Ch.240)

They said there was a moment when the entire world stood still, stood still and watched as you made the one decision that could either make or break you...

For Xenon, that moment was now, as in the very moment their lips merged, Xenon could have sworn he sensed the entire world screech to a halt.

As though the winds knew if they blew too strongly, they would ruin this moment... and so they stayed their hand.

As though the crickets knew if they chirped too loudly, it would ruin this moment... they too stayed silent.

Or perhaps it was not the world around him that had come to a halt... perhaps it was Xenon's own world, in hopes to capture this moment and imprint it in his heart.

The outside world had faded off completely and Xenon could neither hear, sense nor feel anything... except her. Oh, how he felt her!

Her scent, so alluring it had always tested Xenon's mettle right from the very first moment he had set eyes on her.
