Chapter 56. Preoccupied

“But what if…” I started, not getting over my thoughts. 

I stared directly at his smooth neck. “What if that option is the most peaceful path to resolve all of these? The path where less hurt will be made, most especially for the people?”

I suddenly felt Titus sigh. 

“You were there in the Office Building.” That made me look up at him.

He closed his eyes and shook his head when he confirmed his thoughts. “I knew it. I thought I was just missing you too much that I was sensing your presence around. I thought I'd gone crazy.”

I looked down on his collar again. “I was just outside in the hallway.”

“What were you doing there, my love?” My heart jumped at the way he called me. I suddenly felt like blushing like a teenager.

“W-well…” I cleared my throat and paused, composing myself as I met his eyes.

“I wanted to see you,” I said honestly. 

I heaved a deep sigh after that. I’m just done holding back my emotions for him.<
