Norah took a few steps closer, looking down at the man. "Are you drunk?"
Gonzalez opened his eyes, his voice low and raspy. "Norah..."
Norah crouched down, her expression darkening. "Why did you drink so much?"
Gonzalez stared right at her with those deep, dark eyes, making her heart flutter in a chaotic rhythm.
He tugged at the corner of his mouth, still sporting that wild, careless expression. "If I get to see you, I wouldn't care if I died."
Tears suddenly welled up in Norah's eyes, her vision blurring. "Then you can rest easy. Even if you died, I wouldn't spare you a second glance."
She stood up to leave.
Suddenly, a hand wrapped around her wrist. His grip was tight, making it impossible for her to pull away.
Norah looked back, her gaze icy. "Let go of me!"
The man unexpectedly lowered his voice. "Can you feel if I have a fever?"
Norah froze.
Resting his head against a throw pillow, Gonzalez guided Norah's hand and pressed it to his forehead.
The blistering heat changed Norah's expression. She pressed her palm fully against his skin, realizing he was burning up.
"You're sick?" she asked in surprise.
Gonzalez stared at her. "Probably."
"Where else hurts?" Norah asked, her brow furrowing.
"My head." Gonzalez dragged her hand down, placing it right over his heart. "And it hurts here, too."
Through the fabric of his shirt, she could feel the hard, tight lines of his chest. His heart beat wildly, hammering against her palm with heavy thuds.
She snatched her hand back in a panic, her teeth biting down on her lower lip. "Gonzalez!"
