I hastily accepted his help because I was just wondering about how I would be able to get down the horse. He lifted my body the same way as he did when he helped me climb up Nox. Both of his hands were placed on my waist, swiftly lifting my weight as if I weight feathers.
"Thank you," my feet were now standing on the ground, but Luke didn't move his hands away and instead pulled me closer to him until both the fronts of our chests touched each other. "W-what are you doing?" I put my hands on his shoulders, a futile attempt to distance ourselves from each other.
"Nothing," he smiled giddily. "I just love the sparks I feel whenever I touch you."
"What sparks?"
"Something that I wish you would feel too sometime later," he pinched my cheeks lightly, "Let's go."
