As her words hung in the air, Neraxis felt like a wave of emotion had hit him all at once.
His chest tightened as he stared at her beautiful, tear-filled crimson eyes.
She was his everything.
Such a long time had passed, and yet... the memories they had shared, they were all coming back to him.
The first time they met, and the many moments they had shared in each other's comfort.
It was almost like he had never left. But he did, and that was where the problem stemmed from in the first place.
Still, even as the seconds passed, he couldn't mutter a single word. It just didn't feel like he had any right to speak at the moment.
But when he finally mustered up the courage, he couldn't even get a word out as Evangeline leaned in, placing her soft lips onto his.
She cupped his cheeks and closed her eyes, deepening the kiss.
His chest tightened further as he indulged in the kiss, and after just a few seconds, Evangeline parted her lips, her face flushed.
