Noelle pressed her face against his palm. "Have I ever cried that badly before?" She didn't remember ever crying like that.

"... Me too." He took her and gave her a look.

Noelle glanced down at their joined hands and blurted out, "What are we?"

Cedric tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. "I'll take you somewhere once you're discharged."

"Where?" Noelle was curious.
