Alex looked even more revitalized at finally seeing his little lamb's big smile. She turned towards the aquarium again, like a child who just couldn't get enough of it. He was glad that his little lamb was easy to please.
Satisfied, Alex climbed off the bed, squatted down behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I'm glad you like them," he whispered as he rested his chin on her shoulder blade. But what he did made Abi return to reality.
"I like them, they're so cute," she replied as she smiled. After staring at it for a while, she moved to stand and face him.
She held Alex's hands and stared at them before she looked up and smiled at him. She made him sit on her bed as she stood before him, locking her eyes on his. Her lips started to tremble.
