chapter one hundred and four

The young girl was glad she got news from Regulus soon after, it was much needed.

'Dear Adena,

Firstly, I hope you are doing well, and you did not worry about me.

I got home safely, took some rest and have been feeling much better thanks to your good care. Thank you very much, it would have been more difficult if you had not been there at that moment. Every day I wonder what I could be if you were not by my side, and what happened that day just proves that I would not be anything. I will never be able to thank you enough for what you did to me and what you brought to me. So, I will just say it again, I am really grateful to have you by my side.

I will come visit you in a few days. Take good care of yourself while I am not here.

I love you.

Yours truly,

Regulus'

A huge amount of happiness bloomed inside her as she finished reading. There was always something special about Regulus' letters, something that made her feel some type of way. She read and read again his words, like she had done with his other letters before. It was always written in the same green ink and same elegant and neat handwriting. Those were so precious for her. 

Like he mentioned in his letter, Regulus came to visit Adena a few days later. It was Saturday morning and Adena was conversing with her mother in her bedroom. Her health had improved even more, and she was now able to have casual discussions which reassured Adena very much.

"Miss Adena. Mister Regulus has just arrived," said the small voice of Pimchin as she appeared in the room.

Adena turned away from her mother to look at Pimchin. "Is that so? I'll go meet him then."

She left the room in order to greet her boyfriend. He was waiting by the staircase, in the entrance hall. A grin placed itself on her face upon noticing his much healthy stature. She walked down until reaching his side. The girl's arms tried to hug him, but she retreated back, afraid she would hurt him.

"What are you doing? I'm feeling much better, don't worry..." he told her, offering a smile to his girlfriend as his strong arms encaged her smaller figure against his chest.

"Are you completely sure? I'll do a check-up anyway..." she murmured against his torso as her arms snaked around his neck, and he laughed at this. The smell of blood that used to float around him a few days ago had disappeared and his usual intoxicating scent was back. She took a deep breath, letting his familiar sweet scent take control of her for a few seconds. Adena lifted up her head then, and Regulus was staring down at her. His grinning lips were an invitation that she couldn't decline and so, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him without hesitation. It felt like they hadn't kissed in forever, making every one of their movement very passionate, full of love, and full of comfort. Adena was so enchanted by his kiss that she had no wish to let go of him. It always felt so perfect, she was living again every time they would kiss.

They parted after a while and their warm breathes came brushing on each other's lips. Regulus was fondly looking into his girlfriend's hazel eyes, shining brightly in happiness.

"Shouldn't we do that elsewhere? Your sister might come down anytime."

At these words, the beautiful glint in her eyes faded out and she looked away, her smile disappeared as well.
