My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 2016

Perhaps it had been a very long time since I'd seen Hendrix like this, I wasn't used to it. I buried my face deeper into his chest when I felt blood rush to my cheeks. Stubbornly, I had to say something that I didn't actually mean to say.

"Before I woke up, you had been under control from the hypnotist. You felt that I was a heartless woman and couldn't wait for me to disappear from this world. There was no way you would even allow me to enter your dreams..."

Whenever I moved closer to see her face, a transparent wall would suddenly appear. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't break it. After I met you, I never had that dream again. I could finally sleep."
