ตอน 192: It's Nice To Be Home

They held hands as they walked and Abby was so happy to be next to Blaise again that she wrapped her other arm around his bicep and leaned her head against his shoulder. "I missed you so much!"

"I missed you too. It's nice to be home," he said with a content sigh.

Home? He thought of Ilmar as home now instead of Shibatsu? Or…maybe it was her who was home to him. A song lyric flashed through her head; she couldn't remember any other part of the song but the line "you put your arms around me and I'm home."

That was how she felt with him. Though Ilmir had become her home while he was off in Shibatsu, once he came back and inserted himself into the life she had built here it didn't feel the same having him gone.

She hadn't gone anywhere but home hadn't felt as much like home without him. He was her home too. When had that happened? 

"Hey, Blaise?"

"Yes?"

"I love you. Just thought you should know that," Abby said quietly.
