Uesugi Sakura gently parted her slender fingers and slipped his slightly larger hand through the gaps, enveloping her hand.
"Holding hands like this, do you feel anything special?"
"We... we're just about to leave... Sakura, what special feeling could there be?"
Uesugi Sakura gazed at the shy girl in front of him, bringing her hand to his lips and gently kissing her fair and beautiful hand.
"How about now?"
Hanamaru Hanabi blushed and quickly withdrew her hand, intertwining her fingers in front of her skirt while covering the spot he had kissed with her other hand.
"Sakura... we should hurry and leave... we'll be late otherwise..."
Her soft, girlish charm echoed in every syllable she spoke, gently touching his heart and sending waves of warmth through his body.
Uesugi Sakura thought to himself, she is still so cute, just as she was after marriage.
"Would you like to hold hands while we go out?"
"No..." Hanamaru Hanabi shyly refused, "it's... not necessary."
