"I bet your brother will be very proud of you." Felix said with a warm smile. He had already heard her mentioned about her brother once at Belden. He had a feeling that the brother must be very special for her.
"You can lean on me if you have a hard time. I will be a strong pillar for you." He planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.
Yelena's face brightened up at his gentle reassurance. He really had a way of making her feel better.
"Then what about you? You never say anything about yourself." She asked.
His smile faded when he heard her question. "Later. I will tell you everything once you recover." He forced a little smile as he gently stroke her hair.
The forced smile! It's the first time she finds his smile not convincing; but she knows the best that everyone had a secret which they couldn't easily reveal to others.
"Okay." She smiled as she made a decision to be patient with him just like he did for her.
