Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Connor nodded, feeling a bit under the weather. His head was heavy and foggy.

"Come here for a sec," Flora said, tilting her chin up slightly. Connor slowly stood up and leaned forward. A kiss landed on his cheek. Startled, he looked up to see Flora blinking at him with a smile. "Connor," she said with a teasing grin, "Feeling any better now?" Connor's throat tightened...

Flora made Connor a cup of hot lemon and honey for his cold. She had thought he was just putting on an act, but he really was sick. "You always say I'll catch a cold because I dress lightly, now look who's caught a cold?" She wrapped a blanket around Connor and took the laptop from his hands. "You need to rest properly when you're sick."

Connor watched her bustling about, his lips pressed tightly together, not saying a word. His dark eyes shimmered with an unidentifiable light.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Flora asked, pulling out a thermometer. "Open up." Connor complied, his gaze never leaving her. "I regret," he said.

"Regret what?" Flora didn't immediately catch his meaning.

"That I didn't get sick sooner." It was always him taking care of her, and now, seeing her fussing over him, showing him genuine concern, was a first. His girl, too, could be so caring. It felt wonderful.

Hearing this, Flora's hand paused, and for some reason, her heart felt a sudden ache. "Don't talk nonsense," she breathed out, shaking the thermometer. "It's just a mild fever, nothing serious. Just rest at home today, no going out."

"Will you stay with me?" Connor asked, his eyes locked on hers.
