Standing at the hotel entrance, it wasn't long before she saw Edgar stepping out of a cab.
"Sherilyn!" "Edgar!" As Edgar walked up with his luggage, Sherilyn looked up and saw the deep dark circles under his eyes.

"Sherilyn." Edgar closed his eyes, letting out a sigh of relief, "Thank God, seeing you safe and sound like this... it means everything to me." Gradually, Sherilyn relaxed.

"Go on, take a shower, and get ssleep." "Alright." Edgar nodded but didn't move to enter the room immediately, instead holding onto Sherilyn's hand. "Sherilyn, we had agreed, once this trip was over... What do you say, can we move it up?" He was referring to making their relationship official.
