"You're back!" Cindy Clarke exclaimed in surprise, suddenly wide awake with no trace of sleepiness.
She immediately rushed towards Adrian Zhekova.
As Adrian caught Cindy, he smoothly used her momentum to lean back, ending with Cindy sprawled on top of him.
Cindy clung to his neck, burrowing herself as much into his embrace as possible.
After she snuggled him for a good while, she inhaled his scent again and again from inside his arms.
"You never expressed that you missed me. I thought you didn't miss me at all," Adrian said, holding Cindy in his arms.
Seeing her so excited, he knew without asking that she missed him a lot.
His mood improved significantly.
"You're busy. Even if I say I miss you, will you be able to come back?" Cindy said, "I was just worried that you would think I'm too clingy and inconsiderate. I didn't want to bother you while you were busy."
"How could that be," Adrian reassured her, "While I'm at work, as soon as I see a message from you my spirits lift."
