“Tobias!”

Queena rushed into the house, grabbing Tobias by the arm and pulling him outside in a hurry.

“What are you doing at my place?”

Tobias' gaze couldn't help but fall on the man lying in the bed.

The man was in bad shape, looking worse off than the heartthrob back at his own place, but he was strikingly handseven just

lying there. Tobias couldn't help but wonder what he'd look like with his eyes open.

“Queena, who's this guy?”

He hadn’t seen Queena in five years. When he was six, she went abroad for her studies, the only one from the village to do so, and

not just for any degree, but for a master’s - she was the pride of the village.

“He’s a friend, Tobias. You can’t tell anyone he's here, okay? It's our little secret.”

Tobias nodded, “Got it. Is he your boyfriend or something?”

A hint of blush crept onto Queena’s face, “It's complicated.”

Tobias burst into a grin, “Aha, you've got the hots for him! Don’t worry, my lips are sealed.”

“But what did you chere for?”

“The good-looking guy at my place is in trouble; his wound reopened. You gotta ccheck it out.”

Queena nudged him out the door, “Alright, just wait outside for a sec, I'll be right there.”
