章 132: CHAPTER 132 Changed

　　We lay together for a long time in silence, both of us regaining our breaths. I prayed she was returning to her equilibrium better than I was. My body quivered with a strange joy and terror at the same time. And yet, I didn't want to move. Didn't want to break the spell she'd cast on me. Something flowed between us. Something that my heart ached for- and yet… I wanted to recoil from it.
