Waylen clung to her tightly, his chin resting on her shoulder, and whispered, âAllow me to hold you for a while.

Waylen ki*sed her hair and whispered with a tremor in his voice, âRena, I love you.

Rena stiffened.
It mattered not to her anymore whether he harbored love for her or not.
No response came from her.
He sealed his eyelids shut and clasped her with increased intensity, as though he intended to expend every ounce of his strength.
The pressure inflicted upon Rena caused her great pain and discomfort.
In a raspy voice, she uttered, âYouâre hurting me.
â
âI am in pain.
Rena, I am hurting.
