“Is that?”
“I think it is!”
“Her heart!” Genna exclaimed.

I gasped for air and my eyes flew open.
“Ela!” They cheered. For a moment, I just looked at them. “Andrei? Uhh… What happened?” I asked. “You’re okay!” he exclaimed. He hugged me so tight I thought my ribs gonna break. I gladly hugged him back. I’m so glad to see him again.
