Before their lips could touch, the jarring sound of the doorbell shattered the moment, snapping Thalassa out of whatever daze she had been in.

She quickly pulled back her head. What the hell was wrong with her? Why had she almost allowed Kris to kiss her?

Irritated with herself, she gritted her teeth. "I'm almost done," she muttered, continuing to dab at his wound to clear as much blood as possible.

The doorbell kept ringing incessantly, causing them both to frown.

"Who the hell is that?" Kris asked, gripping the edge of his chair in annoyance. Whoever was at the door had deprived him of his moment with Thalassa just when he thought he'd been able to get through to her heart.

Once finished tending to his wound, Thalassa gathered the bloodied cotton into a plastic bag. The bleeding had stopped, but there was still a small gap where the stitches had ripped.

"You need to get that checked at the hospital."

"I'll be" Kris started, but another round of doorbell rings cut him off.

"I'm going to check who's at the door," Thalassa said, about to leave when Kris stopped her.

"No, let me. This could be dangerous," he insisted, not liking how the person didn't even have the patience to wait.

"In case you've forgotten, Kris, I'm no longer the weak woman you used to know. I can defend myself," Thalassa ground out and immediately walked away.

Dejected, Kris followed her nonetheless, unwilling to take any chances. When they reached the door and Thalassa opened it, they were both surprised to see Alden running his hand impatiently through his hair. Luisa wasn't beside him. ""Where's Luisa? I need to speak to her."
