Tanner hugged her tightly and lowered his head.He pressed his lips on the top of her head and said in a soft voice, "You’ve become thinner."

Before coming to her, he had imagined many different kinds of reunion scenarios.

Would he go crazy and express his longing for her? Or would he try to stop at nothing to trap her by his side again? Countless thoughts flitted across his mind, but he was scared when he saw her.

He was afraid of her rejection.He was afraid that she would hate him.
