him the instant she opened her eyes, Xavier stood right

wiped her tears. Chuckling dryly, she admitted, “Actually, I guessed by the smell. Although sunflowers don’t give off a strong fragrance, I can still smell them.”While saying that, she stretched out her hands toward Xavier.Xavier felt as though he had been stabbed in the heart.
