Love Began with the First Meeting

Molly pressed her lips together and took her hand back, wresting it from Brian's grip. Brian frowned, but then she took his hand and intertwined their fingers, like couples did. She looked at his face, and met Brian's eyes. A smile spread across her face, and her eyes were full of joy.

Brian looked down at their hands, and he stood there, quietly, looking at them. His eyebrows raised and he said,"You have a lot on your mind. Shouldn't I be the one comforting you?"

Molly didn't say anything, but instead walked around him till they were face to face. She gently took hold of his other bandage-wrapped hand and looked straight into his eyes. When she saw that the serenity had returned to his gaze, she stood on tiptoes and pressed her lips to his.

Brian didn't move, except to kiss her back. As time ticked away slowly, his eyes glittered mysteriously like two black diamonds.

Molly withdrew from the kiss, suddenly feeling shy. She met his gleaming eyes, and a soft smile appeared on her face. Then she took out her phone, tapped out a message and showed it to him.

"Everyone is able to feel peace of mind. You can't feel it because you don't want to."

The look in Brian's eyes became more mysterious, and it was like an unfathomable black hole, deep and monstrous, from which no light was able to escape. He stared at the screen of her phone, his gaze unwavering, until it finally went black. Then he turned to Molly and asked,"What about you? Do you feel it?"

Molly gave a bitter smile and shook her head. Then she tapped out another message on her phone. This one took a little bit, and Brian fidgeted impatiently.
