Chapter 23 - Power of Possibility
'Hey, ' says Yuan, standing in front of him with a tentative smile. Her hand lifts to wave weakly. 'Surprise. '
'Yuan, ' he breathes out, chest sagging. 'What are you '? ' I thought ' you ' '
Before he finishes stammering out any of his incoherent sentence, she has already thrown herself around his neck, pressing the cold tip of her nose against his neck.
'Hi. '
The door falls shut.
'Hey. '
Chuuya hugs her as close as possible but ends up pulling away again a moment later. Perplexed. 'What are you doing here? I thought ' '
'That I went back to the sheep? ' she finishes and sheepishly clears her throat.
'Yeah. You found them. You sent me a message. '
'I did, yeah, but ' ' Brushing past him and deeper into the apartment, Yuan scratches the back of her neck. 'It 's kind of a long story. ' She glances over her shoulder. 'Can I stay here for a few days? '
'Stay as long as you want, ' he tells her without a second of hesitation.
