Three Little Guardian Angels

Pearl froze.

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.

Pearl stayed frozen stiff in his arms for a long while.She pressed her lips thin and pulled his arms away.

"Tanner," she said without turning her head back, "What are you doing here? There's no way we can return to how things were."

His heart skipped a beat, and he froze.

"Do you still hate me?"

"Not anymore." Pearl turned around to look at him.

She forced herself to stay calm and said, "I’ve already let go of everything between us."

Tanner walked up to her and said, "But I can’t."

She was stunned for a moment, but she swiftly regained herself.
