"Thank you," Finn said, his gaze fixed deeply on Sienna.
Those two words weren't mere politeness; in that moment, they carried immense weight.
"I haven't figured out what to do yet," he continued. "But one thing is absolutely certain. This cannot affect you. I won't allow it to make you uncomfortable, and I certainly won't let it become a burden to you."
Sienna smiled.
"I understand, though it won't be easy," she said gently. "We'll figure it out together. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Finn looked at her, a storm of emotion swirling in his eyes.
He didn't say another word. He just reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly as if he were terrified she might disappear.
Sienna could hear the heartbeat drumming in his chest, rapid and heavy.
"I'm sleepy," she murmured, stifling a yawn.
Finn loosened his grip slightly and looked down at her, a soft smile touching the corners of his eyes.
"Let's go to sleep."
That night, Sienna slept in the master bedroom of the Solstice Heights apartment. Finn held her from behind, refusing to let go until dawn.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already nine in the morning.
Sienna woke up first, but she stayed perfectly still.
She was facing Finn. His arm was still wrapped securely around her waist, and his warm, even breaths brushed against her forehead.
She lay there, quietly admiring his face from just inches away.
The slope of his brow, the bridge of his nose, the sharp cut of his jawline—he was as flawless as a sculpted masterpiece.
How could a man look this good?
The morning light filtered through the gap in the curtains, painting a pale golden edge along the side of his face.
Sienna reached out, her fingertips tracing lightly from his brow to the tip of his nose, finally resting on his lips.
So handsome. And he was hers.
The sheer happiness of it all felt almost surreal.
Finn was still fast asleep, his thick lashes casting faint shadows in the morning light.
Suddenly remembering something, Sienna reached for her phone on the nightstand and pulled up the Health Commission's official website.
When the page loaded, her name was listed at the very top. First place in both the written exam and the interview, highlighted in red. Her position was secured.
A muffled groan sounded beside her as Finn woke up.
