He crossed the space between you in three frantic strides and pulled you into a trembling, vise-like hug. *Baby, why didn't you reply? Is it because I got a bad mark? Am I no longer worthy of being loved?* His question was a muffled sob against your shoulder, his arms locked tight as he waited for your answer.
