Felix swept Carol off her feet, cradling her sideways as he strode into the house.
Her cheeks burned with a flush, buried in his embrace.
Darkness enveloped her once more as he blindfolded her with an eye mask.
"Felix?"
She heard the sounds of his departure, the splashing of water, and the unmistakable gulp of swallowing.
"What are you eating?"
"Vitamins."
His voice was nonchalant as he glanced briefly at his crotch and headed into the room.
Carol remained still, and as he moved over her, she wrapped her arms around his neck.
After the love-making, she lay panting in his arms.
Felix rolled off the bed, not lingering, and went to reheat the dinner that had gone cold.
Carol felt genuinely hungry by then, and after a shower, she walked out to the dining table, her limbs weak.
The food was ready and warm.
Just as Felix was about to sit down, his phone rang.
It was the hospital, perhaps Listina had regained her ability to speak.
His eyelashes fluttered, and he leaned down to press a kiss on Carol's forehead.
"I've got to step out for a bit, honey. Start without me."
Carol felt vulnerable and craved company, especially from her boyfriend.
But she had already disrupted his work enough, so she nodded obediently.
"Okay."
Felix left swiftly, and for a moment Carol felt as if he was relieved to go.
But the sight of the food in front of her dispelled her doubts.
She must be overthinking it.
She ate her meal in peace and then curled up on the couch, falling into a deep sleep.
Waking in the middle of the night, Felix still hadn't returned.
She checked her phone – it was three in the morning. Had he gone back to his place?
Just as she was about to call him, her phone chimed with an incoming call.
Felix's voice was hoarse.

Is author playing with our emotions?...
Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
