A Season of Gentle Sounds

Blurb:

He stopped hesitating and firmly took hold of her arm, pulling her toward him until they reached the center of the pavilion.

The coldness in her eyes forced him to let go of her arm.

"It's better to stand in the middle." He lowered his now-empty hand, explaining the intimate gesture he'd just made.

Yinyuan wasn't having it. She quickly looked up at the resolute face she hadn't seen for over two thousand days and feigned indifference. "I'm already soaked. I'll just change when I get home."

Longing for his masculine scent, yet rationally keeping her distance, she took a deep breath and rushed out of the pavilion.

"Yinyuan, have you been well lately?" When the rain began to envelop her, he ran after her and blocked her path. His lips tightened as he finally asked the clichéd question people ask after a long separation.

Have I been well lately? What do you think?

She managed a strained, proud smile. "Yes!"

He smiled too, his smile smooth and polished, without a trace of imperfection. "That's good!"

The truth was, she hadn't been well at all...

Reunion, like dead grass springing back to life in the breeze...
