Scarlett woke up early in the morning and found that she was in Chris's arms.
It was still dark outside, and so was the room. Scarlett opened her eyes, and she could not see Chris's facial features until a moment later.
She didn't dare to move for fear of waking him up. Later, she raised her hand slightly and outlined his face in the air.
She didn't know when they would meet again after departing with each other today. Thinking of this, she felt a little blue.

When she was deep in thought, Chris suddenly moved, slowly opened his black eyes, looked at her, and raised his hand to touch her eyebrows. And then, he put his hand on the back of her head, pressed it slightly, and lowered his head to kiss her forehead, saying, "It's still early. Why don't you get more sleep?" Scarlett didn't say anything but wrapped her arms around his waist and squeezed into his arms. When she pressed her face against his chest and listened to his methodical heartbeat, her eyes turned red.
Because of being lonely for more than half a year before, Scarlett had been addicted to the warmth from him these days.
She didn't want him to go, and she hadn't felt so sentimental for years.
She had been independent for a long time, so when she meet a shoulder that she could lean on, she didn't want to leave it.
As long as Chris was by her side, she would feel at ease even though they were respectively doing their own things.
But today, Chris was leaving. Scarlett felt sad when she thought that they would be thousands of miles apart because she didn't know when they would meet again.
Scarlett in Chris's arms didn't speak, so he raised his hand to stroke her hair silently and lowered his head to kiss her now and then.
Scarlett moved after about two minutes. She looked up at Chris and asked Hilla to turn on the lights in the room.
The light was a bit dazzling. Scarlett narrowed her eyes slightly, and after getting used to it, she reached out, grabbed the phone beside her, looked at the time, and said, "It's almost 7 o'clock." "Yes," Chris responded and looked down at her. Scarlett was smiling as if it weren't her who had sadly leaned on his chest just now.

Scarlett put on slippers and walked into the bathroom.
It was about eight o'clock when they had breakfast. After a while, Scarlett drove Chris to the airport.
Alexander knew that Chris was going back to Bomsville today, so he had cto the airport to see him off.
The flight was at eleven o'clock, and Chris arrived at the airport at about ten o'clock.
Seeing Alexander, Scarlett wisely walked away, letting them be alone for a while.
Chris stared after Scarlett until she disappeared at the corner, and then, he turned to glance at Alexander, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Why are you here?" Alexander had wanted to say he was distressed at parting with him, but after hearing his cold words and seeing his disgusted look, he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue and said, "When are you going to return to Jakesville?" Chris looked askance at him and replied," If nothing else, | will be back next year." Alexander breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you don't want to cback." Chris gave him a cold look silently.
Alexander felt a little guilty, so he snorted," Actually, | have something to tell you."
