Amelia sat inside the infirmary, her gaze meeting Cyrus's before she looked down at her hands on her lap, feeling slightly embarrassed.
The vice principal explained everything that happened in the laboratory to Cyrus, who heaved a sigh.
"I got it," he said.
Fabian meticulously asked everyone to leave the infirmary, and Cyrus looked at Amelia.
There were so many things he wanted to say to her, tell her how scared he had been for some time until he knew what had happened and how his heart ached for her, but in that moment, he chose silence.
He walked and sat beside her before pulling her in for a hug.
His actions surprised Amelia a little for some time, and then she wrapped her arms around him.
The mark he carried on his neck was definitely making things hard for him now that he was torn between his heart and mind.
He closed his eyes, tightening his hold on her.
It was comforting, warm, full of tenderness and emotions, something Amelia had never felt before.
