Ren laughed quietly as he pulled me in for a hug, his strong arms almost suffocating me. His scent of pine and vanilla occupied my senses as I leaned into him. "Naveen will explain everything to you," he loosened his embrace before adding, "Promise me you'll be okay?"
I nodded meekly, and drew an 'x' across my heart with my finger. Ren furrowed his brow. "What are you doing?"
I giggled. "Crossing my heart." He stared at me, still looking confused. "It's like a promise," I explained. "Have you never heard of that before?"
He shook his head. "Why wouldn't you just say 'I promise'?"
His confusion only made me laugh more.
