Bab 173: If You Were My Mate

She playfully hit him in the chest as she let go of him.

Morpheus offered her his hand. "How about we sit here at the edge?"

"You'll sit beside me?"

To be able to witness such a spectacular view made her really happy. The only downside was that it was sort of difficult to breathe,  and also, she was feeling cold despite her coat. 

"It's hard to breathe. Is it because I am scared?" she asked, trying to breathe as much as she could.
