Aron POV

"Aaron, I want to tell you something." She raised her head from my shoulder and looked into my eyes.

She looked so worried and scared. I fully understand that the rain traumatized her. Her body was still shivering from fear, so to calm her down, I kissed her lips before listening to her.

Even though we share a home and see each other frequently, I still feel a sense of distance from her. I miss her warmth and cozy presence, and I have trouble sleeping at night. I used to mistakenly put my arms around my dad, thinking he was Sara. He made fun of me for spending the night with him in front of my mother and Jerry. Fearing my dad's mockery, I began to sleep in the other room.

Jerry enjoys teasing me a lot. Jerry kept interrupting us whenever I tried to approach Sara or have a conversation with her. She added that until we get married, we must learn to control our feelings. But it's not the way she thinks. Not only am I craving Sara's body now, but I am also craving her soul.
