It was one of the nights when Mei-Rin, instead of sleeping, curled up in the bed, crying. Usually Apollo would not even notice that, but that night, she felt his arms embracing her from behind.
Even though they had finally got married, she had not agreed to spend their wedding night the way it should be spent. Such an intimacy had still been reserved for Chris only, and it had scared her that she could let someone else - even Apollo - in.
But that night, when she felt his arms embracing her, she felt something inside of her break. He had never done anything to convince her to have sex with him, even though they slept in the same bed. Even now, his embrace was gentle. And yet, she found herself turning her head... and before she noticed, she felt his lips pressed against her own, and she could not be sure who was the one who had started the kiss.
