"Thank you for saving our lives, Tanzanite." Sapphire says with a pure smile on her face which makes Elio pause with his eyes widened a little bit.
Don't know how many times for today that Elio lets the wind keep circling around them and making the scene just like in movies.
The sky slowly loses the orange color since the sun is almost fully set which makes it now become a dark purple yet not that dark, still just a perfect scenery.
"We probably joined Adam right now if you were not there so... we owe you a life." She continues and puts her hand back on Elio's shoulder, physical contact just her way to show affection and comfort to others.
Not only pausing his movement, it seems like Elio is also holding his breath without knowing it, not expecting Sapphire would say such a thing to him.
Things that he never got and expected from anyone ever before which makes him get used to and not wanting it anymore.
An appreciation, a proper appreciation.
Elio always gets the blame, fault, framed, and similar things that are just the opposite of appreciation.
In fact, he only gets appreciation from Lucas who always knows what Elio has been doing and working on.
That moment is already a long way in the past which makes Elio start to get used to and the thoughts of receiving one fading away, even the smallest or the simplest one.
But right now, while the other two tigers, who are already with him since day one in this company, still give him the same treat as the others, suddenly there is one person that he just met last year who gives him this.
This must be not the first time that this person moves or changes something inside Elio, either it's his brain or heart that he still thinks it ridiculous of how someone can give this many effects toward him.
Elio's eyes are still on the cross, not wanting to have eye contact with the person beside him, and finally realizes that he needs to take a breath.
If he suddenly inhales a lot of air out of nowhere, Sapphire is going to notice it so he tries to take it slow and natural.
"You know that night when our connection got lost again.." Now Sapphire starts telling him the truth of what is going on that night.
**Last night flashback**
"Sapphire! We gotta move!" Aquamarine shouts while shooting the guards in front of them since the gates start closing behind them.
Since Howl is badly injured from the storage area, Sapphire is the one who is helping her to get up and walk the whole time as Aquamarine tries to protect them.
Sapphire scans their room right now and finds they are still in CCTV's camera.
She already called Elio many times but no response came from it so she takes another conclusion that their connection must be cut off again.
At this point they already run out of options like standing on the edge of a cliff which only has two options, jump forward or standing still while the people try to get them.
Jumping forward while the guards are still facing them with their weapons is too risky and with Howl's current condition it makes things more difficult.
"Don't! Spec is already on his way here! He will be here any second!" Sapphire replies while letting Howl lay down on the floor and telling her to press her worst wound.
"But the gates! We are going to get locked!" Aquamarine says while reloading his gun.
"No. He won't close the last gate." Sapphire replies firmly and takes out her gun, joining Aquamarine in the shootout.
