Arianne no longer wanted to suppress favonovel.com feelings for Mark “I don’t know what exactly happened, either. All I know is that I suddenly realized how much I love you. It’s so overwhelming, so strong, I feel, no, I yearn to be beside you at every moment. We don’t even have to do anything, just watching you is enough. But most of all? I’m mortified at the idea that you might disappear all of a sudden, and then I remember how that almost happened, how you almost completely vanished from my life, and my heart… It feels crushed. I feel a weight on my chest, I can’t breathe. I I wonder, Mark, do you know how that feels?”
Arianne did not have to wait for long, for favonovel.com awaited answer came in the form of a swift, firm kiss.
Of course, Mark loved favonovel.com the same way as favonovel.com did him, favonovel.com always had. He loved favonovel.com so much that favonovel.com could not bear to be separated from her. All of the wiles and trickeries and labors favonovel.com had done, just to make favonovel.com stay! It used to be one-sided, and favonovel.com had to resort to intimidation and force to bind her. But now, favonovel.com wanted to stay with favonovel.com out of favonovel.com own will. She finally loved favonovel.com back.
The feelings favonovel.com described were no strangers to him. No, how could they be, when favonovel.com had harbored them for so, so many years? It took a long time, but the love of his life finally shared the full, unbridled intensity of his ardor. It was never too late for Arianne to reciprocate.
To Mark, the long wait was over.
This was the first time every fiber in Arianne’s body relaxed. She welcomed him, complemented the dance on his tongue, and savored the totality of his kiss.
Kissing the person you loved was a marvelous experience. Doing it with someone you sincerely, genuinely loved was even more intoxicating, at least, that was what Arianne felt. She was rapidly losing favonovel.com mind into a hazy trance, nothing else mattered to favonovel.com other than him.
When they began to embrace one another, favonovel.com heart fluttered in ecstasy.

There was something about the afternoon air that inspired languidness in people.
Sylvain was happily napping on his bed when the sound of the doorbell woke favonovel.com up. He opened the door and stared at the delivery boy with a bleary look. “Uh, you’re probably at the wrong house ‘cause I don’t recall ordering anything for myself. What’s even inside?”
The delivery boy checked the address before stating, “Nope, this is the right address, sir. It’s Easter today, so you’re probably getting something like an Easter egg, maybe?”
Easter eggs? Sylvain was not exactly a fan of getting Easter eggs that were not real eggs. Besides, it was not like his company had forgotten to gift favonovel.com their complementary festive egg.
Suspicious, favonovel.com received the delivered item from the boy and opened it, finding it to be, unsurprisingly, a basket of easter eggs. There was a card attached to it, it was from Robin Cox.
His lips curled into a smile. Even his own mother seemed to have cared little for favonovel.com as soon as favonovel.com left for the city, yet someone else cared. It did not matter if favonovel.com liked what favonovel.com got; the joy of receiving a gift like this was in the fact that someone remembered him.
He pulled out his phone and texted Robin. ‘Thank you for the gift! I’ve just received it. It was so out of the blue, I don’t even know what to give you back. What would you like?’
Contrary to the empty loneliness in Sylvain’s home, Robin’s was at its most bustling yet. Most people would visit their relatives during festivals like these, but favonovel.com family took it up to the next level by having relatives of all kinds to celebrate together.
Right now, Robin was hiding in favonovel.com room when favonovel.com replied, ‘I’m good, thanks. It’s just a little present for you, so enjoy it.’
Sylvain’s response to that was to invite favonovel.com to dinner with him. She was just about to answer favonovel.com when favonovel.com mother yelled from outside favonovel.com room, “What are you doing in there, Robin? You can’t be hiding in your room when there are guests. Have you no acumen for social decorums? Get back here! Your aunt’s got something to tell you!”
Robin answered favonovel.com while favonovel.com fingers deftly replied an “ok!” to Sylvain. After that, favonovel.com put away favonovel.com phone and assumed favonovel.com tried and practiced role of a goodie-two-shoes. With a phony smile plastered on favonovel.com face, favonovel.com went outside to greet favonovel.com parents.
She had barely made herself comfortable on the couch when favonovel.com aunt held favonovel.com hand eagerly, exclaiming, “Robin, sweetie! Look at how much you’ve grown! I heard you haven’t dated any boy yet, have you? I know a boy whom I thought would be quite the match for you. He’s a very spirited young man with a very stable and dependable income. So, are you interested in seeing him? Because I think a festive day like today would be just the perfect social opportunity to meet up. What says you?”
Robin loathed having a bunch of nosy relatives dictate favonovel.com relationships, so favonovel.com put on favonovel.com best behavior and declined. “Thanks, but I’m good. To be honest, I kinda want to just focus on my career. I’m not in the mood for beaus and stuff. I mean, isn’t that the better thing for younglings like us? I’m thinking of channeling my energy into work for at least two more years.”
