Love Began with the First Meeting

Molly stared at him silently. His face was neither cold nor soft. Instead, it looked casual. Only his thin lips under his high nose and thick black eyelashes seemed to portray his indifference.

Molly watched him sleep, and a strange feeling suddenly flashed through her mind: he was as quiet as a kid!

She quickly frowned, and sneered at such an improper comparison. Then she disapprovingly curled her lips and looked away. However, after a while, she looked at him again, and his calm and peaceful face suddenly reminded her of the warm embrace she had been in yesterday...

Her eyelashes fluttered, and slowly, her eyes turned blank and perplexed. It seemed like she had several complex emotions towards that man-- grudges, fears, annoyance, resistance, even submission... Sometimes, she even felt like he had captured her heart.

Molly tried to recall yesterday's events, but she failed to remember how she got out of the staircases. All she remembered was that warm, powerful embrace had carried her upstairs and she had managed to fall asleep. She had been extremely overwhelmed at that time and the person had felt familiar.

She blinked her eyes, totally absorbed in her thoughts. Her weakness could still be seen in her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, they were met with a sharp gaze.
