Winona approached him at a measured pace, her steps unhurried.

Something about the situation made them feel as if they were doing something they shouldn’t be.

“How did Charlie’s surgery turn out?” she asked.

Elijah let out a quiet laugh, then reached for her hand, turning it gently between his own.

Heat crept into Winona’s face. “Stop it. It wouldn’t look good if someone saw us like this.”

He leaned closer, his breath brushing her ear. “Babe, doesn’t this feel a bit like we’re sneaking around?”

Winona nudged his chest in protest. “Don’t say ridiculous things.

“Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I’m going back inside.”

“Wait! Don’t go.”

He intertwined their fingers and slipped their joined hands into the pocket of his coat.

His expression softened with quiet affection. “The operation went smoothly. Charlie should wake up tomorrow morning. You can call him around eleven and check on your friend.”

Even though his words sounded reassuring, Winona could still detect a trace of jealousy beneath them.

“Babe, it’s been a whole day. Have you missed me at all?”

Winona turned her head with a small huff. “Not even a little.”

“Really? What if I were gone for a week?”

Her heart skipped. “Where would you go?”

Elijah gave a low chuckle. “You say one thing but feel another. I knew you missed me.”

“When are you planning to tell your family about us?” he asked.

Winona hesitated, her thoughts unsettled. “Tell them what? There’s nothing between us. Nothing at all.”

The light in his eyes dimmed slightly as he studied her. “Is that so?”

She wavered, about to speak again when a deep voice cut in from behind.

“Winona, what are you doing here?”

Startled, she turned around. “A–Austin?”

Austin’s gaze was sharp and cold, fixed on the man holding his sister’s hand.

“Come on. It’s getting late. Head inside and get some rest.”

Winona quickly pulled her hand away. “Alright. I’ll head upstairs now.”

In an instant, she slipped away from Elijah.

Austin shot Elijah a dismissive look, and Elijah clenched his jaw in silent frustration.

Of all times, Austin just had to show up.

“Winona, are you thinking about getting back together with Austin?”

They stood on the staircase, Austin one step higher. Winona lowered her eyes, unsure how to respond.

“I haven’t made a decision yet, Austin.”

His expression darkened. Not decided–meant she was still considering it.

“Think carefully. I don’t believe he’s right for you. Have you forgotten how he treated you before? I don’t want to see you hurt because of him again.”

Austin wasn’t trying to control her.

If the man were worthy, he would support the relationship.

But if his sister’s heart leaned too much toward him, Austin feared she would end up the one who suffers.

“Austin, I’ll think it through. Just give me some time.”

“Alright.” He sighed, knowing he couldn’t push her further. “It’s late. Go get some sleep. And
