I inserted my key into the door and heard a click. The doorknob was cold to the touch, but I stepped into warmth when entering the building and saw Marie rising next to the interior light. She had seemingly already taken a bath and changed into loungewear. But Marie was holding a book, presumably reading as she waited for me to get home. I felt a pang in my heart as she turned around with a tear rolling down her face.

The black cat jumped off the bed as Marie rushed to me in her slippers. My heart ached again to see she was holding back more tears. She continued to run toward me and dove into my chest to embrace me. I quickly put my arms around her back.

I wasn’t sure what to say. We always had fun chatting away, but she remained still with her arms around me and said nothing. I took a few deep breaths and slowly started to speak.

“I’m sorry I’m late.”

Marie buried her face in my arms and muttered. I couldn’t tell if she was angry, sad, or both. She sobbed a few times, then looked up at me, her purple eyes covered with tears. It was the first time I had seen her cry.

“It’s strange. I wasn’t supposed to cry. Knowing you, I knew you would be okay, so I waited here, wondering when you’d get home. I was having fun reading a book with Wridra until a moment ago,” she said, yet the tears wouldn’t stop. I couldn’t wipe them away for her with our arms around each other, so I just stared into her eyes.

She had a troubled expression, likely due to having trouble processing her emotions. I expected her to get angry with me, so I was rather taken aback that she was even more bewildered than me.

I was glad I had come home despite the circumstances. Otherwise, I would have made her even more sad. I finally breathed out of relief, then gently stroked her back. She stared at me with those tearful eyes. Her expression had changed, and it seemed she understood her emotions.

“You know, I think my feelings for you are a lot stronger than I realized. That’s the only explanation that makes sense. I always knew you were precious to me, but why else would I cry like this just because we were apart for a little while?”

My mind went blank when she said those words in her beautiful voice. It was as if her feelings flowed into me from where her slender body touched mine. She got so caught up in her speculation that she had blurted out her unfiltered feelings, and her face gradually grew red as she realized what she had just said.

Marie suddenly pushed me away, trying to put distance between us. “I-I just said something very cheesy, didn’t I?!” She still kept me away. I couldn’t see her expression clearly with her face lowered, but she was turning red up to her ears.
