144 An Affair

Not everyone desires a passionate kind of relationship. Some people crave for those innocent parts of a relationship. For instance, holding hands, forehead kisses and being able to tell how much you adore a person. 

Xiu was one of those people who craved those very simple but adorable things in a relationship. That was one of the reasons why she loved spending time with Darren. He was always attentive around her and she had come to realize how much she loved it whenever he kissed her forehead so naturally as a goodbye.

"Nora," Xiu suddenly called out and Nora hummed in reply with her attention on the road. "Why are you so scared of serious relationships? Are you afraid of love or people?"

Nora looked at Xiu through her peripheral vision before saying, "Loving someone for a lifetime sounds amazing but..." she hesitated before continuing, "It's equally scary as well."

"Scary? How so?"
