Vulnerable

Lyca bathe on his warmth as she lifted her arms and folded them around him. It was as if… she hadn't seen him for days when it was only hours. Yes, she missed him and this incident made her realize that she had been naive and immature. She honestly, was too frightened to attach herself again but was adamant to start a new relationship with Shen Qui. 

His soft expression made the guilt that she felt more suffocating.

"Don't do that again." His gentle voice made her swallow all the explanations that she wanted to tell him. Instead, Lyca tightened her arms around him. 

Lyca bit her lower lips before she whispered. "I'm sorry." There are no other words that could describe what she felt. It wasn't just embarrassment for her actions and guilt over the fact that he had been so worried about her. It wasn't just the fact that he still acted as if she wasn't acting like a child.
