Chapter 60

• I can’t fucking believe this. Exhaustion? Aria passed out because she was stressed out and overworked? How the hell did I not see that coming? She skipped breakfast, looked like she was carrying the weight of the damn world, and that stupid box practically had her spiraling. I should’ve known.
• Now she’s lying in bed, out cold, looking way too peaceful for someone who scared the crap out of me earlier. As soon as she hit the ground, I rushed her to the medical center like a man possessed. Maria did her tests, gave her some kind of injection, and told me it’s just exhaustion. Nothing serious, she said. I almost kissed her out of relief, but you know, boundaries.
