Chapter 12 The Icu

• HELENA.
• Last night was pretty….weird. I was exhausted, scared, and probably thought I'd go into cardiac arrest at least twice. Imagine the shock on my face when I opened my eyes and found Aaron staring straight at me. His strong arms were on my waist, and his breath fanned against my face. Our gazes locked on each other.
• I was stunned at first, our proximity was a little too close for comfort. But now, all I could hear was the sound of my heart furiously trying to escape its confinement in my chest. His green eyes glowed, his breath was shallow and his muscles tensed. For a brief moment, I wanted to kiss those half open lips. Like I said, brief.
