"I wasn't avoiding your touch because I was angry. It's because I missed you," Arabella corrected, and Ferdinand's eyes brightened.
"Then why were you avoiding me if you missed me?"
[Shouldn't she be running into my arms like she did before? She was so adorable back then. I wish she would do it again.] Ferdinand's face had a slight blush at the recollection.
'Huh? But I'm holding back since this isn't a good time for that. Yet, instead, my actions made him think that I didn't miss him…What should I do?'
Arabella didn't want to explain since it would look like she was desperate to make up a reason. Instead, she pulled Ferdinand by the collar and kissed him. Much longer this time to show she truly missed him.
[This kiss!] Ferdinand was wide-eyed at Arabella's actions but eventually understood as he felt her longing. [She was holding back?! Did she avoid my touch because it would tempt her?]
