Lemira tilted her head, pressing her face against his palm. "Did I ever cry this hard before?" She couldn't recall ever having cried like this.

Orion pursed his lips, remembering. Yes, there was that time, during the accident years ago.

When he had pulled Lemira from the wreckage, she had cried just like this, heartbreakingly, because he wouldn't let her near the burning car. She had even bitten him. But she had forgotten all about that.

His palm was slightly warm as his gaze locked onto her face with intensity.

As he leaned in closer, Lemira straightened up, clearing her throat. "You probably haven't had dinner yet, right? I'm a bit hungry."

"I could eat."

He took her hand, his look deep and meaningful.

Lemira glanced down at their intertwined fingers, asking subconsciously, "What are we to each other now?"

Orion brushed a stray hair behind her ear. "After you're discharged, I'll take you somewhere."

"Where?"

"That's a secret for now. If we're looking for a label, it needs to be done properly."
