They didn’t have any other thoughts; they just wanted to kiss and feel each other.
In the silence of the night, their senses were at their keenest. Sophia leaned into Arthur’s embrace, blushing and feeling that her rapidly beating heart was about to explode.
She would never forget this wholly romantic experience.
Meanwhile, Arthur took her hand and walked some distance forward. Their path was paved with fine white cobblestones that reflected the moonlight and emanated a faint white glow. It was breathtaking.
Even though it was unfamiliar terrain at night with insects chirping all around them, as long as Sophie held this warm and large hand, she would have nothing to fear since she’d gravitate to wherever he was.
When they returned, Arthur carried her on his back. She wasn’t tired, but he just wanted to do it for her. As Sophia leaned against his firm and broad back, she could rest, admire the scenery, and even occasionally kiss him on the back.
Arthur immensely enjoyed this happiness as if he were carrying his entire world on his back.
Out of the three best friends, the other two had already found their partners for life; only Richard was still engrossed in his work, enjoying his time alone.
He was studying some complicated program as he coded, his slender fingers tapping away on the keyboard. His firm gaze was on the lines of code displayed on the screen, and not a bug was in sight.
He had already completed the accurate calculations in his mind. Just then, he received a message on his phone. ‘Richard, they’ve crossed the border and entered your country. It looks like they had already arranged a meeting with the buyer. We should go as soon as possible.
