"Where the heck were you? Weren't you supposed to wait forin the lounge?" "I wanted sice cream, so I went to get one," Sherilyn replied, only to realize something mid-sentence. "Wait... you're not mad because I didn't get caught in that explosion, are you?" Before she could process her thoughts, Gilbert bent down and finally pulled her into a tight embrace.
"Huh?" Sherilyn was completely baffled. What was going on? "Thank God! Thank God!" His hand cradled the back of her head, pressing her deep into his embrace. "Getting ice cream was a brilliant idea! A brilliant idea!" Because she went to get that ice cream, she had narrowly escaped danger! His heart was racing; it was only now that Gilbert felt it settling back into his chest... He felt alive again! Murmuring with a voice full of relief, "You're safe, thank God. I'm so glad you're okay..." Every word struck Sherilyn, leaving her puzzled.

Lately, it seemed he was dropping hints left and right, as if he cared about her a lot.
