His voice quivered with emotion.
Tears shimmered in his eyes.
Rosalyn watched him, a sense of helplessness filling her heart.
But she nodded anyway.
The next second, Wayne pulled her into a tight embrace.
Rosalyn hesitated for a moment, then gently hugged him back. "Wayne, we need to start living our lives right."
She didn't list a bunch of conditions like she did last time.
What's the point of saying all that?
Things had already happened.
"Uh huh!"
Wayne nodded vigorously, burying his face in Rosalyn's neck.
"I won't let you down again," Wayne's voice choked out.
"President Silverman, are you really going to cry?" Rosalyn patted his back lightly.
"I'm just so happy." Wayne paused, then added with a hint of grievance, "I was really scared, you know. I was scared that you would never forgive me, that you would always be cold to me."
Wayne tightened his arms around her, burying his head even deeper.
"I'm sorry..."
He had so many apologies to give.
Rosalyn patted him again. "You're hugging me so tight I can barely breathe."
Hearing this, Wayne immediately loosened his grip a bit but didn't let go.
"Are you okay now?" Rosalyn asked. "If you're okay, I'm going to get some pizza and a cappuccino. I'm tired from the whole day..."
"Wait a bit longer. We still have things to discuss." Wayne lifted his head and kissed Rosalyn. "We should talk more."
"Quit it; I have to get up early tomorrow." Rosalyn's palm rested on Wayne's face.
"Quit what?" Wayne asked with a mischievous grin.
Rosalyn gave him a silent stare, then grabbed his collar, pulling him closer. "Of course, I'm talking about what we didn't finish in the wine cellar because of your hesitation."
Seeing her fall asleep, Wayne fetched the hairdryer, turned on the warm air, and gently dried her hair.
Then Wayne laid back down next to her, held her tight, and kissed her over and over.
Then, satisfied, he fell asleep.
In the early morning.
Rosalyn was the first to wake up.
She stirred a little in Wayne's arms, and he woke instantly.
"What time is it?"
Rosalyn's hand was still on Wayne's waist. Wayne grabbed his phone to check the time, then put it back, gave Rosalyn a couple of gentle kisses, and then answered, "It's 7:30."
"We should get up." Rosalyn gently nudged Wayne. "You should go check."
Wayne grunted in response, "You sleep a bit more. I'll wake you when breakfast is ready."
"Alright."
