A neat short haircut tucked behind the ears, with a pair of blue earrings matching the necklace around her neck, so beautiful that one couldn't look away.
Harry Hall stood in front of Helen Melendy, staring at her for a long time without moving his gaze, making Helen feel a bit speechless.
"Alright, Mr. Hall, if you keep looking, I'm going to worry you'll swallow me whole."
Hearing his wife teasing him, Harry came back to his senses, feeling not the least bit embarrassed for staring at his wife, instead leaning in closer, pressing his forehead against Helen's, and letting out a few low chuckles—
"You guessed right, I just want to swallow you whole right now."
The intense gaze, like two circling dragons of fire, hovered around her face.
Helen felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze, pushed him away from her slightly, and said:
"Be serious."
Saying so, she got up and walked out of the dressing room.
