He took deep breaths trying to calm himself before he finally pulled something out of his coat's pocket.Her eyes froze for a second as she stared at the thing in his hand. The confession card she wrote to him, she gulped when she noticed the brooch similar to the emerald bracelet he gifted her attached to his coat.

He raised his hand to touch her puffy cheeks when suddenly her phone laid beside on the side table started vibrating. He ignored the three calls that came in a row before he heard a tinge of notifications.

Author's PovLily stirred from her sleep feeling warmness all over her, she tried to push the heavy blanket wrapped around her away but to no avail, it didn't even budge. Finally groggily opening her eyes, she looked down only for her eyes to snap up the next second as she realized why that heavy blanket wasn't getting off her.It wasn't a blanket, it was his arm. She instantly sat up roughly throwing his arm away only for him to wake up with an irritated face. "Never knew you wake someone who took care of you whole night like this."

Author's PovLily entered her office room startling the manager the moment she looked in the young women's eyes, "What is wrong with you?" The lady said looking at Lily with concerned eyes.

She mumbled dragging her feet to her painting which she started three days ago, her first painting submission was today and she had to complete the details till night.The gallery manager stared at her as she tied her messy hair in a tight bun and grabbed the paint brush, from the looks of her it seemed like she hadn't been feeling well, and in this condition, she definitely wouldn't be able to work properly.

Author's PovLily had many assumptions related to his painting, she thought it might be their intimate moment or maybe the beautiful kiss they had in the heavy snow. But never had imagined him painting nothing related to them or their moments instead, it was just her. She was smiling brightly with her eyes sparkling the way they used to when she looked at him in the past. Her one palm was rested on her cheek, her partially curly hair down and her big blue stones shined through the art making her stunned for a second at how perfectly he had painted her. The way she smiled, the way her eyes sparkled whenever she was with him and the glow on her face, everything was on point.She was so stumped that she didn't even notice when he walked behind her, her body jumped in surprised when he wrapped his arms around her placing his chin over her shoulder. And surprisingly this time even she didn't move or struggled like a wild kitten that she was doing from the time she came back."Remember you
