    "I cannot believe you were going through so much, and I was giving you more stress. I was such a bad friend." Lucy had been crying ever since I woke up and came to meet me. She told me she had heard about everything I had been through. Honestly, I didn’t even me her. It wasn’t her fault, she had her own struggles.

    "Lucy, don’t say that. It makes me feel even worse." I swallowed my tear.

    She raised her head and frowned. "Why would you feel bad? You did nothing wrong."

    "That’s because you’re too nice to let me know that I’m a terrible friend," I mumbled, and she shook her head.

    "No Hnie, you had your own baggage. I used to be so jealous of you, thinking you were getting all the attention while I was miserable. It makes me feel like I was so full of myself. I needed a fall to wake me up." The way she said it in her cute little tone reminded me of the Lucy I had met in the beginning, and I suddenly started crying while smiling.

    "Okay, Hnie, you look very creepy like that," she said, and Iughed even louder. She quickly hugged me, and I hugged her back. It felt so good.

    "Now that you’re back, I can have so many conversations with you. We will talk about everything," I said excitedly, holding her hands.

    "Yeah, I want to talk about everything with you too. I mean, you’re an alpha queen. You can hook me up with someone cute, right?" She tried to show her dimples and made me believe she really wanted to move on, but I knew it was still too soon for her.

    When Gavin and she had shared a look earlier when they entered the room, I already knew things were tense between them.

    "Sure," I said, half-excitedly. I wasn’t going to ship them back together, I wouldn’t be that cruel. He had really hurt her, and I didn’t want Lucy to rush into another rtionship and make someone else suffer. But I didn’t say that to her, she had just woken up. She had every right to have a few little flings, as long as she didn’t give anyone too much hope.

    "Where is everybody else?" I asked, looking around.

    She smiled cheekily. "I heard Professor Norman is nning something for you, but please don’t tell him." Being Lucy, she spilled the beans and then covered her mouth. "Don’t tell anyone I told you," she mumbled, giving me a cute dimpled smile.

    "Okay, I won’t tell anyone. But where are the others?" I asked, noticing even Gavin had left after she arrived.

    "They’re all helping him out. I was asked to join them too. Can I please go? I really want to be involved in activities like that. I want to use my arms and my legs," she requested, looking so cute.

    "Okay, you can go," I said, not knowing exactly what Norman was nning. I guessed he was trying to win me back. Not that he needed to, he hadn’t lost me, but I was happy he was putting in some effort.

    "Okay, and you need to rest. Lie down and only get up when wee to collect you, okay?" She said as she stood, and I noticed her movements were a little stiff, which waspletely understandable. She hadn’t been in her body for long.

    She helped me lie down, pulled the nket over me, and rushed out, waving goodbye for now.

    Iughed as she left and Iy there, hugging my nket happily. We had finally found our friend. I just wanted to fix everything, all the issues, without any loss.

    I had only closed my eyes briefly, thinking that by the time they finished preparing whatever present they were nning for me, I could grab a quick nap, when I heard someone enter the room. I opened my eyes and calmly sat up, assuming it was either one of them or Normaning to collect me.

    However, I was surprised to see someone else entirely.

    "Kaye, what are you doing here?" I asked, smiling widely.

    He looked like he had been driving for a while, no flight, nothing, and he seemed restless. Yet wearing a ck leather jacket, he looked incredibly handsome.

    "I’ve been missing you," he said, making me smile as he held a rose in his hand.

    "Oh, thank you," I replied with a smile, epting it as he sat down with me.

    "You know, the mission was a sess," I instantly started speaking, and he looked genuinely happy for me, all smiles.

    "And then Norman is preparing something for me," I added without a break.

    As soon as I said that, heughed. "I know. But who told you?" he asked, hands on his waist.

    "Oh, please don’t tell anyone. Lucy identally spilled the beans." I instantly realized I shouldn’t have put Lucy on the spot. Still, it was fine. We were nning a beautiful surprise party for her as well, so it was all okay.

    "I won’t tell anyone. But now you have toe out, because they’re waiting for you," he said, standing and holding out his hand.

    "They seriously sent you to collect me?" I asked in disbelief. He just arrived and they put him to work.

    "You know, brother doesn’t likezy people, so he was like, ’Go collect her,’" he said, grunting as he mimicked Norman.

    I took his hand and got out of bed. "Can you give me a little hint about what they’ve nned? I’m kind of curious," I asked, slipping into my shoes and walking with him. He didn’t let go of my hand.

    "It’s a little farther from the mansion, but it’s something very romantic, that’s all I can say. Are you expecting me to be Lucy and spill more to you? Do you want to ruin the entire surprise?" heined yfully.

    "No," I replied instantly, walking with him. I was still drowsy, though, and I guess he noticed, because he suddenly turned around and carried me in his arms. I shyly looked at his chest.

    "You know, when you blush, you make my heart skip a beat," hemented, making me bite the bottom of my lip shyly.
