Dev’s voice on the phone was harsh with worry.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaERjvhhEbT

“I’m coming over.”

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTudXnc1S8

“No,” Amara said weakly.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA69oIL2h6Q

“I don’t care.”

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKrPSbFhGV

She heard him hang up.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty8HyLekIt

Twenty minutes later, someone was pounding on her door.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGAcFUOopr

Amara wiped her face on the couch cushion and shuffled over.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkHmX0yid0

When she opened it, Dev didn’t wait for an invitation.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLeqv0UtqA

He stepped in, took one look at her, and closed the door quietly.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR5d8063H9

“Jesus, Amara.”

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMPvNdRDC2

She flinched.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATi81HEFCA

He softened immediately.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi98JVSzn8s

“Sorry.”

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcFXY33aaX

She sniffed.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgQY65iId4

He dropped his bag and put both hands on her shoulders.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVPf3cR7wl

“I’m not here to lecture you. I just… I needed to see you breathing.”

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pqbJ9zCUL

Amara’s mouth trembled.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6yfjXBrvG

She tried to speak but it caught in her throat.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8QH3wIdBl

Dev pulled her into a hug.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6AMM3DwZM

She broke then.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknjJfc0ckM

Sobs wracked her thin frame.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAHDA1eOKx

He held her tighter.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFVc47BXS7

“Stay as long as you want,” she whispered against his chest.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl3N5desOG

“I wasn’t planning on leaving,” he said.
