"Nothing," she replied. The giggling subsided, but the smile lingered. She looked up at him again. "Jin Di…"
"Hm? What is it, baby?"
She didn't answer right away. Instead, she traced idle shapes on his chest with her finger. He waited patiently, enjoying the warmth of her touch.
Her hand stilled. She pressed her palm over his heart, feeling its steady beat beneath her hand. Slowly, she lifted herself just enough to look directly at his face.
"I'm really glad I met you, Jin Di," she whispered.
He froze.
Surprise, disbelief, joy, and emotion all flashed across his face in rapid succession. His hand hovered in midair, forgotten.
Seeing his expression, Elena couldn't help it. She giggled, leaned down, and gave him a quick kiss before settling back against him, half sprawled on his chest.
Within moments, her breathing evened out. A small smile remained on her lips as she drifted into sleep.
