Norris kissed Trenton softly for a moment.
Her tears left a salty bitterness on her lips.
She reached out, holding him tightly, then buried her face in his chest. Her body slowly began to relax as she let out quiet sobs.
She didn't know why it hurt so much.
Maybe it was because the years had been too painful.
Even if she pretended not to care, deep down she knew—those pains were real.
For the first time, she kissed her lover without hesitation.
For the first time, she embraced him unreservedly.
They no longer needed to fear anyone's judgment, no longer needed to worry about being a burden to each other, no longer needed to regret.
Her emotions shattered, and she cried in his arms for a long time.
Only when she was exhausted, and her tears had dried, did she stop.
But even then, she refused to let go, clinging to him tightly.
Trenton gently stroked the top of her head and asked softly, "Feeling better?"
