I held the phone tightly to my ear, listening to his deep, warm voice echoing beside my ear, as if a warm current continuously flowed into my heart.
That longing was amplified, buoyed by the warmth.
I gazed out the window, thinking about the scene I just witnessed, I couldn't help but say, "Daniel Carter, I just saw a couple passionately kissing on the street and suddenly thought of you. I miss you so, so much..."
I couldn't see his expression upon hearing this, but I clearly felt his breathing quicken, and my heartbeat followed suit.
I don't know how I had the nerve to say such cheesy words.
But I couldn't help it, it just slipped out.
"Lily, Lily—" He kept calling my name, I knew he was excited, wishing he could sprout wings and fly over immediately.
I also really wanted to see him, but I remembered what Jessica Sawyer said, so reason ultimately triumphed over impulse.
