I was hoping and dreaming that he'd come desperately , asking to see me . But no . He didn't come . I didn't even see his hair or his shadow . I couldn't be more disappointed . He failed on that part again . " Are you done packing ? " Klay asked when he entered the hospital room . I looked at him . " Almost . " " I got all your things in your condo . " My forehead creased . " Huh ? " " You're going to live with me , Kelly . " I let out a violent gasp as I stared at his emotionless eyes . " Klay , I didn't agree with that !

" We're here . " I lazily nodded and moved to where he was sitting as he got out of the car . He offered his hand to me which I refused so when I lost balance after seeing where he brought me , I couldn't help but grab onto his shoulders to save myself from falling I felt him wrap his arm around my waist as his other hand held my wrist My heart almost stopped beating after I felt something soft , wet , and warm pressed on my lips .
