The man seemed to be talking to himself, but Fiona Schmidt heard him clearly; she raised her head in surprise, her face full of confusion.
She frowned slightly, just about to speak when she suddenly saw the man raise his hand. Before she could react, his long arms had already embraced her, pulling her into his chest.
"..." Fiona was completely dumbfounded, her whole body stiffening, her heartbeat almost stopping.
She crashed against the man's chest, the firm muscles leaving her hands unsure where to go. Her eyes widened, her mind blank.
She couldn't understand the man's actions; he had never embraced her proactively before, catching her off guard, leaving her face as pale as a sheet.
