Sniffling softly, she nodded and then left us alone. “Don’t take long. I’ll wait outside, watching over.” She closed the door behind her. Striding closer to her bed, I sat beside her. My eyes bathed in her enticing beauty. Those turquoise eyes that had stolen my heart were firmly closed. Long eyelashes shadowed over her…

You remember that, right? What explanations will you have after she asks about the cuts?” My hand halted in midair, going for another shot. My gaze fell onto my wounded knuckles. He was right. She already asked me once. Though those wounds were from showing those bastards their places who tried to hurt my Rosebud….
