"How could you be so hard on yourself?"
Colby spoke as he rose to his feet to soak a hot towel in the kitchen.
Just the thought of it made Sophie angry. She glared at Colby. "If not for you! Someone had a gun pointed right at my head. Am I not allowed to save myself?"
Colby came over, crouched down, and pressed the damp towel against Sophie's thigh wound. "My gun will never be pointed at you, Sophie."
His voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of unnoticed fatigue.
Sophie cradled Colby's face, only then noticing the dark circles under his eyes. Though Colby had tried to cover it, the traces of exhaustion on his face were still easily visible.
Colby must have suffered a lot these past few days, searching for her and not having slept well at all.
Staring at the face that tugged at her heartstrings, Sophie leaned in, kissing Colby's lips.
What started as a peck quickly deepened as Colby pulled her closer. His kiss turned from gentle to intense, as he held Sophie in his arms as if fearing she would disappear the next second.
"Sophie... Sophie..." Colby whispered her name with restrained patience, his kisses becoming more urgent.
"Mmm—"
Sophie's moan completely broke Colby's last line of defense. He lifted Sophie in his arms, then laid her down on the plush bed. Their bodies were entwined, reluctant to part, as if to express their longing for each other during this time.
"Alright, Adler and the others are still waiting outside."
