His head atop mine, I could feel the warmth he radiated from his chest settling into me. God, it felt so safe, so right. Like nothing in the world could hurt me right now. “Are you okay?” He asked. “Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?” “Flora.” He said softly. I shrugged, “I’m fine, Felix. It was nothing.

Why was he making this huge change in his plans suddenly? “But why?” I asked incredulously. “I’m going to stay here and take care of you.” His gaze on me was tense, “You need me here, Flora.” “But Felix,” I wrestled out of his embrace, “You can’t do that.” “I’ll be fine,” he said, “And it doesn’t matter where I get my degree from.
