“I’m asleep, Mom, and it’s getting late as well. Why don’t we talk tomorrow?”

“All right, then. You go ahead and get some rest.” As soon as her footsteps faded away, our surroundings fell silent again. Only the faint sound of the chilly night breeze blowing past could be heard.

I let out a sigh of relief and instantly relaxed. Then, slapping Christopher’s head, I remarked, “If she had barged in here just now, I swear, the sky would have come crashing down.”

“Don’t worry. Am I not here to protect you in case that happens?” Smiling affectionately, he sat me up and positioned me in his arms, his lips once again falling upon mine as he kissed me gently.

I knew he was doing all he could to comfort me, and it did help me to feel better eventually. After our strenuous workout ended, I lay there on his sweaty and muscular chest, scrutinizing the scars on his tan skin. I had never asked him how he had gotten them, but ever since I found out he was in the special forces, I knew they could only be his battle scars.
