Chapter 45 His Warmth

• I can’t remember how long I’m on the floor. I’m trying to move but I’m trembling, my limbs are numb. I look at my right, seeing how Adam is hitting him, over and over, again and again. I can sense his anger, it’s like he is doing what I asked him to do. How did he find me? Why did he? I know I didn’t call him, I know I was mad at him, but not anymore. Is he just doing his job, or is this something more?
• The punches finally stop. I can see the blood gushing from Liam’s face, it’s like he isn’t recognizable anymore. “Adam”, I finally let out a cry, but even my throat is soar. Immediately, he looks my way, and I can see the anger being shadowed by the worry. He finally let goes of Liam, letting his body hit the ground. He comes rushing to me, checking every inch of me, asking, “Are you okay?”. “I--”, I stutter. “Yes, I’m fine. You were in time”, I say and I can sense his relief. “But, I’m in shock”, I add as I try to stand up. He looks as I’m trying to stand but my body gives in. Instantly, he wraps his hands around my body, carrying me in a style that only a princess deserves; but I ain't no princess. As we are about to exit, I see a small hooded figure looking at me. It looks otherworldly, and I know, this is Myrriam’s work.
• So careful, he puts me in my seat, I feel the warmth of his body leaving me, as he needs to drive us far away. I can see his eyes checking up on me from the mirror, and I want to tell him how happy I am that he came for me, but I’m so nervous. I can see a turn I don’t know that he takes and I ask, “Why did you turn here?”.
