Love Began with the First Meeting

Molly clenched her teeth shut, she was trying to hold her tears back - hiding behind her eyelashes. She decided that only she was to be trusted, she needed to be strong for herself because no one else would do that for her. She needed to stand her ground even though everyone else abandoned her, disappointed her - she needed to be strong. She must be strong now and she must be strong tomorrow and the day after that. She needed to be strong for the rest of her life. Even if people always left her, she was always left to herself.

Molly forced herself to smile as a way to attempt to comfort herself. She knew that she would never disappoint herself, even if everyone else around her did.

"Little Molly?"

When Molly heard the voice call her name, she raised her head without thinking - her moistened eyes met Eric's. Eric, who was always haughty in his ways, was looking at her with an overwhelming amount of tenderness. The sun shone behind him - like he was an angel, warm and good.

When Eric saw that Molly had just cried, he grew worried. "What's wrong, little Molly?"

Molly rapidly blinked to try and dry her eyes and prevent more tears from falling. When she saw how concerned Eric was, she wrapped him in a hug.

Eric was caught off guard but he hugged her tighter. Eric, with a hand on Molly's back, pat her back to try and console her before he went back to his old self of teasing her,"It's so early, Molly! Do you hug me because you like me ?"

Molly was buried in Eric's chest, ignoring his teasing. She cried harder, finally letting out all that she had been carrying for so long. Eric panicked when he realized that Molly was crying. He had little experience with things like this so all he could do was gently rubbing her back.
