บท 1868: No one is at fault

I don’t know how long we stayed in that position but neither of us uttered a word for a while. I was guilty for making her feel jealous but simple words wouldn't be enough to comfort her, right? And that's why I opted to adopt a wait-and-see approach and act according to it.

Unfortunately, I still have the trait of not being able to stand seeing my girls feeling down.

I threw that initial approach into the bin and just acted how I always am. Utterly shameless.

Lifting my arms and enclosing them around her, I reciprocated Eguchi-sensei's embrace. Then, holding her just as close to me where distance was virtually nonexistent between us anymore.

Feeling the warmth and comfort spreading through our bodies, I gradually moved us from that position to the middle of the room.

Eventually, we approached the long couch similar to the one inside Sara’s cabin. Dropping my ass down there, I pulled her down with me and placed her on my lap.
