He stepped in, took one look at her, and closed the door quietly.

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD3hZfj8tU

“Jesus, Amara.”

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JgIyk0uUW

She flinched.

“Sorry.”

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3t21Dwe1B

She sniffed.

He dropped his bag and put both hands on her shoulders.

“I’m not here to lecture you. I just… I needed to see you breathing.”

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeB8va4pqc

Amara’s mouth trembled.

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhxXAfEHvK

She tried to speak but it caught in her throat.

He held her tighter.

“Stay as long as you want,” she whispered against his chest.
