บท 40: Chapter 40: Embracing Love

The moon cast a soft luminescence through the curtains, bathing the room in a gentle glow as Ryo turned off the light. Sakura and Ryo lay side by side, their silhouettes merging in the dimness. The day's revelations hung heavy in the air, but the quiet sanctuary of the room offered a temporary refuge from the world outside.

Sakura snuggled closer to Ryo, her head finding its resting place on his chest, listening to the soothing cadence of his heartbeat. His arms enveloped her in a protective embrace, a silent promise of safety and solace.

Their eyes met, and the unspoken words of love and desire passed between them. Sakura's lips curved into a soft smile, and she gently traced patterns on Ryo's chest with her fingertips. He leaned down, capturing her lips with his, their kiss deep and passionate, a physical manifestation of the love they felt.
