"Feeling better now?" malumanay na tanong ni Haze habang dinadampian ng halik ang tuktok ng ulo ko. We've been cuddling on the bed for minutes now, tahimik lang kami pareho habang ako ay kapit na kapit sa braso niyang nakapulupot sa'kin. Tiningala ko siya, he adjusted his position too to look at me back. His eyes are very affectionate, and his warmth despite the clothes we're wearing, I can feel it. Napunan ang pangungulila ko nang ilang araw. I smiled, realizing how much I missed him. Everything I've experienced outside my comfort zone still traumatize me, but now he's here. My safe space, so my mouth automatically formed a pout when I tried not to cry. He chuckled and kissed me on my forehead. "Tell me what happened?" More than demanding me to talk, he's asking if I can tell him.
