"It's okay," Scarlett said softly. "I understand. But please, don't shut me out like that again."
Xander nodded, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "I won't," he promised. "I love you too much to ever do that..."
"X-Xander..." Scarlett was surprised when Xander suddenly kissed her tenderly, cutting off her words before they could escape her lips.
"Alright, let's stop talking about those unimportant things. We have a lot to talk about," he said while restarting the car. "But we'll talk when we get to the hotel. For now, you can sleep. I see you look exhausted."
Scarlett was relieved to see Xander back to his old self, and she didn't argue. She was indeed tired. Lately, she had been feeling exhausted quickly. She closed her eyes, a warm smile spreading across her lips.
Not long after, their car arrived at Hotel R in the middle of town, and at the same time, Scarlett woke up from her short sleep.
