Kristian didn’t follow up. He simply gazed at her—her flushed cheeks, the curve of her lips, the tenderness in her
eyes that, at that moment, saw only him.
If this was how he died, it wouldn't be the worst way to go.
That thought brought a faint smile to his lips, and the pain in his back dulled ever so slightly.
“What is it?” Freya asked when his silence lingered.
“Nothing. I just felt like saying your name.” Kristian’s voice was as soft as silk, his eyes never leaving hers. “After
everything I've done to you, we haven't had a single quiet moment like this.”
Freya pressed her lips together, unsure how to respond. Words weren't her strong suit.
Kristian could feel the strength leaving his limbs, his eyelids growing heavier by the second. But he wouldn't let

Kristian pushed himself upright, silently grateful for the fever. If not for it, his pale face might've given him away
completely.
Kristian waved Lawrence off with a dismissive gesture, silently telling him to move aside, then turned to Freya.
“You should go on ahead. | have a few things | need to settle with him.”

“Then why the hostility?” His voice lingered in the air. “Didn't | just save your life?”
Freya didn’t respond. As much as she loathed the idea, he wasn’t wrong.
“You think you saved her life?” Kristian suddenly cut in.
