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

“I’m coming over.”

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX426twezAB

“No,” Amara said weakly.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5V4L4bWY6

“I don’t care.”

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ5WiEJC4e

She heard him hang up.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCeryJWvtM

Twenty minutes later, someone was pounding on her door.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqJolaRtxz

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

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYUUVCHKHR

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

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQy6ASAWBi

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

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo7ui4gMFT

“Jesus, Amara.”

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoSK6YlEGh

She flinched.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBusQjJKJzA

He softened immediately.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCvhfX5n1B

“Sorry.”

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKKXm1HP6h

She sniffed.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKTE3zEdtZ

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

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxCWqc94Wx

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

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W4CJgHDbn

Amara’s mouth trembled.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCsqyizwNf

She tried to speak but it caught in her throat.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTbt7ZSNdq

Dev pulled her into a hug.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg4sL5fved

She broke then.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT8HzGk88A

Sobs wracked her thin frame.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1EyPGsSkk

He held her tighter.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqt4GBeEFv

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

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmmw6FTYs3

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