"Are you sure this is the right time?" Dr. Kian asked, his voice filled with worry as he pulled Grace closer and secured her in his arms.
Grace wrapped her arms around his waist, letting herself enjoy the warmth. "I can't say for sure whether this is the right time or not. But I'm as ready as possible."
He stared at her for a moment and then nodded his head in understanding. Leaning closer, he pressed a kiss to her forehead before pulling her into a tight hug.
"Don't take too long this time. You know that we can't even breathe properly in your absense, right?"
She pulled back from the hug to look at him. There used to be a time when she was afraid of nothing, not even death, but now... she was most afraid of hurting her men.
"I promise. I'll not keep you two waiting for too long this time. And I'll stay in contact." Her eyes drifted to Davian who was standing next to the glass window and had been watching them in silence.
