because he pickedup for our dinner. We talked about srandom things. He actually offered to help me
again but | refused. | already have someone by my side... Emily and I think she's enough.
"Mommy!" Snow's energetic voice welcomedafter | entered the unit. | smiled at her as | carried her in my
arms. | walked towards the living area and found someone sitting on the couch, collecting Snow's toys and
putting them in the box. "Pierce?" My forehead creased as | continued walking.

He stood on his feet and fixed his crumpled long sleeves polo. | saw his coat on the couch when he grabbed it,
readying himself to leave.
"I'm sorry. | met someone and already ate outside."
"It's okay. | was just really waiting for you and...Ana cooked so we already ate."
| put Snow down and she ran towards Pierce. She held his hand and looked at me. The smile on my daughter's
face and the happiness in Pierce's eyes while watching our daughter is making my heart clench. Should I...tell
him about her now? But...
"Will you cback again tomorrow, Pierce?"
Pierce smiled and squatted in front of her. "Just at night, sweetheart. | have work during the day so..."

together when Pierce suddenly looked my way. | walked towards the island counter while Pierce sat on the stool,
facing me.
| made two cups of coffee. One for him and for me.
"Snow is full of love. You raise her very well."
| smiled at his comment. "Thank you."
He stared at my face while | sat on the stool, facing him. The smoke from the coffee between us seems to be the
only thing between us. He's so closed and | don't know if | should blthe island counter for that.
"Was it hard? Raising her alone?"
| looked into his eyes because of that. "It was hard but worth it."
Slowly, he nodded and looked at his coffee. "How about... Klay Carver. Does he know... that she's his daughter?"
My heartbeat doubled as | watched his curious face, waiting for my answer. My throat seemed to becdry
and my mind fell into chaos. | know he'd ask such a thing but | didn't prepare myself this early.
"It's okay if you don't want to answer. | just...wanna know but | can wait...until you can finally open up to me...
Hopefully."

are makingso weak and scared. | suddenly felt scared of telling him the truth about Snow. We finished our
coffee without conversing again. When he said he's leaving, | pulled myself up as | was about to grab his empty
mug when he did the sand our heads bumped into each other.
"Ouch!" | groaned because it kinda hurt. He panicked and immediately cupped my face, makinglook at him
as his thumb gently caressed my forehead.
"I'm sorry. Are you okay?" He looked atworriedly and when our gazes locked, | gasped, realizing the distance
between us.
He swallowed hard after he noticed it too. My heart started palpitating again when his eyes constantly glanced at
my lips.
| was holding my breath as his eyes settled on mine. He was looking at my eyes as if weighing my reaction and
convincing himself to do something without makingangry.
My hands, resting on the island counter, slowly balled into fists. My toes under the counter curled as | slowly
closed my eyes as soon as his face started moving closer.
It was so slow. Everything seemed to disappear. All | could think about was the anticipation for his lips to press
on mine. There's a hollow in my heart and | feel like it's slowly getting filled as | feel him getting closer and
closer.
My fists tightened and my heart continued beating loudly and fast. | can feel him. He's getting closer and closer
and closer until...
