I heard the door creak open, and my gaze snapped up. There he was, tall and lean, standing in the doorway like a figure carved from stone.

A rush of joy surged through me.

Ignoring the pain, I pushed myself upright. “Caden, you finally came to see me!”

His eyes dropped to my wrist, and he sighed deeply.

He handed me the fire lilies, his voice sharp and cold. “Don’t do anything foolish again.”

A wave of warmth flooded me. He still cared.

“Caden, thank you! How did you know fire lilies are my favorite?” I asked, gazing at him, my heart swelling.

“Rest up,” Caden replied, his tone flat. “I have things to take care of.” Without another word, he turned and walked out, his back retreating into the hall.

As I watched him go, the warmth in my chest quickly turned to ice.

Caden, I won’t give up on you that easily.
