Nyx patted James’s back with one hand as the other touched his waist. His scent filled her nostrils, calming down her trembling heart as she nestled in the crook of his neck. /"I’m sorry./"
James swallowed back a sob, trying hard to look as calm as he could, but his chest hurt. He was so scared... so scared that the woman he loved with all his heart was sick and in so much pain. /"Why are you apologizing?/"
/"I made you sad.../"
/"I want to be sad. I want to be sad and happy with you. So, get better, okay?/"
