What's done is done
'I really like you'It hung in the air, like a mist. As Sakura instantly moved away, taking her hands back, she stared into Syaoran's eyes. They were looking earnestly into her own, the amber and emerald never wavering, expressions locked. It was like the first time they met, when he tried to take the cards from her, his eyes burning into her own, trying to read her soul. Only this time he had finally won and taken something from her only he had taken something as important as her the cards and family, her relationships. He had taken her... Was it comfort? Security?
