around again, before pursing her lips into a slight pout. “Maybe we can keep that between ourselves. No one likes to find out they are older than they thought!” Her brother’s chuckle brought a smile to her face as she saw him shed most of the burden he seemed to be carrying since she had awoke. “How did I end up here?”

“Conrad,” he answered simply. A wash of concern and shame overwhelmed her. She hadn’t even asked how he was. As if seeing this, her brother smiled again. “He’s fine. We had to monitor him for a few days as he was badly burned, but he recovered quickly, given his nature and your bond. Now we can’t get rid of him. He refused to leave and trust me when I say he’s a force to be reckoned with! You actually just missed him. I sent him to get some food. He’s been a fixture in that chair for a week,” Alex said, gesturing towards the corner. “We let him stay on the condition he took care of himself.”

The clattering sound of a cup on the floor drew their attention to the door, just in time to see the water Conrad had been carrying cascade across the floor. Ashley’s heart quickened at the sight of him. His hair looked unkempt, his blue eyes were ringed with circles as dark as the t-shirt he wore, and yet he had never looked more perfect. The surprise on his features morphed into the most brilliant smile she had ever witnessed, a smile that caused her heart to flutter. He closed the distance between them and her breath hitched as he took her tenderly in his arms as if he were fearful she might break. Pulling back, he ran his hands desperately through her hair, his vision searching hers to make sure she was truly awake, that his mind was not playing tricks on him.

Reaching up, she wove her fingers through his tangled hair, pulling his lips to hers. A smile played on his lips as he rested his forehead against hers. Closing her eyes, she savoured their closeness, the energy shared between them.

“I love you,” she whispered, determined not to miss the opportunity to tell him again. She saw the elation her words had brought before he once more pressed his lips to hers. In that moment, as he held her close, she knew that everything would be okay.
