The chirping of birds woke me from my deep sleep. I fluttered my eyelids open to see his fac first. He was seated beside the bed, his eyes steady on me, and a sense of relief washed down on me heavily.

He must have been here, awake all night to watch over me. I blinked slowly, unable to wrap m head around it.

My eyes searched over him, and I noticed his hair was damp.

“Good morning,” I murmured weakly.

In response, he didn’t speak right away. Instead, he searched my eyes tenderly before pulling closer to feel my forehead. He sighed softly.

“You should take your bath. Breakfast is almost ready,” he said, aiming to pull off the bed coverlet but I held onto it.

“I’m cold,” I said.

He smiled and kissed my lips lightly.

“Then you’ll bathe in warm water. Come on.”

He carried me off into the bathroom and lowered me gently into the bathtub. Then he reached for the toothbrush. When he handed it over to me, he began running my bathwater.

I watched in silence as the aroma of the breakfast he had mentioned wafted in.

“You’re cooking… for breakfast?” I asked.

He grinned.

“How do you know?”

I giggled weakly, leaning back in the bathtub with the brush in my mouth.

“That’s Kashi’s favorite meal,” I said addressing the aroma, still smiling, but then the smile faded when it settled in me, and I swallowed. “He must be worried about me. Kashi.”

Hearing that, Cupid paused to look at me.

“You can talk to them if you want. You can turn on your cellphone if you want.”

I shook

my head.

“I don’t want to. At least not now until I’m a bit better, so they won’t have to worry about me.” I sighed, smiling a bit too sadly. “I won’t live with myself if the Frosts divided because of me or disagreed with Dad because of me.”

He nodded, as though telling me I’d made the right decision, and I smiled again, looking at him.

“What do you think of my brothers? You met them last night.”

To this, he simply looked at me a bit too blankly, then lowered his gaze to admit,

“Power.”

Accompanying that was the goosebumps that rose on my skin. It was the way he admitted it.

“Your brothers… they are great men.”

I grinned wider, happy he thought positively about them.

“Really? So you love them?”

He frowned at that, then shook his head slowly.

“Love is too big a word.” Then he slipped away, reaching for the soap. “I don’t fall in love that quick.”

That declaration made my heart stutter in its beat. I watched him return to me and begin to bathe me, but the air had already shifted, along with the mood.

Yes, I should have thought of it before now. That was the truth. A man like him wouldn’t fall in love too easily.

Perhaps there was nothing like love he felt for me. Maybe this was just to make himself feel better about not being there when his mother died.

The breakfast was placed before me. A plate of steaming food and sides to go with it.

Cupid sat beside me with a small smile, encouraging me to take my meal, but I only looked at it, unable to shake the thought of what he had said earlier from my mind.

Quietly, I reached for the spoon but he took it instead to feed me. However, I shook my head, taking it away from his hand.

“It’s fine. I can help myself.”

My tone came out too dry and too harsh than I intended or ever did. He paused to search my eyes, and I lowered my gaze, hoping he wouldn’t see my true emotions.

“Alright,” he murmured, leaving me to myself while pulling away to the counter where his pack of cigarettes lay. He had smoked already while preparing breakfast.

He reached to shake one free, but I murmured after him weakly.

“I don’t want you to.”

He paused to look at me, and I held his gaze straight. He knew what I was doing, frustrating him but he obeyed anyway.

He dropped the pack on the counter to focus on me, waiting for me to eat my breakfast, and I picked up the spoon.

I had chased him off, and he had left without even lingering for one bit. I hated it. I hated that he was far away, that he wasn’t pampering me like he was supposed to.

Lifting my gaze to him, I saw he was still waiting, and I turned away to eat the breakfast, almost too hurriedly.

I was eating the last when I suddenly felt a wave of nausea wash over me.

Cupid walked forward to pack the plates when I suddenly held his wrist. Cold sweat broke from my forehead.

He saw it instantly, and concern covered his features. He lowered to my height to look at me, to ask what was wrong when I lost control over it.

I threw up all of a sudden, all over his body.

I stunned myself at what had just happened, but he didn’t wait a second.

He scooped me up at once, carrying me to the sink where I leaned over to empty my stomach while his palm rested tenderly on my back.

After a few moments, when I was shivering, he carried me off to the shower to bathe me while I leaned on him, hanging on for dear life.

I held him tight, tighter as the seconds passed hoping he wouldn’t leave me now, praying he’d hold onto me too, just as I was.
