They hugged for a long while, each listening to the other's breaths, different thoughts racing in their minds. Nicklaus didn't want to let her go but he knew that her legs would start aching if she continued standing, so he reluctantly let her go.
Tiana's lids which were already groggy fluttered open, and she looked at him;
''Let's go to bed. ''
Nicklaus spoke tenderly at her and the sleep that were already clouding her gaze, disappeared instantly.
Go to where?
Her eyes glanced at the bed nervously as her fingers clutched around something and she realized that she was still holding onto Nicklaus shirt. Quickly, she dropped her hands to her side.
She knew that she shouldn't sleep on the couch anymore since they were now in 'good' terms, but at that moment, she couldn't pretend that she wasn't nervous or afraid.
Nicklaus noticed her uneasiness and smiled;
''don't worry, nothing that is going on in your mind would happen, okay? ''
