Chapter 74

Tanin wiped her face, sniffling as the tears dried on her cheeks. The emotional exhaustion weighed on her, making her feel drained. She rubbed her temples, feeling a mix of emotions swirling inside her—hunger, fatigue, dizziness. It was like her body couldn't decide what it wanted.

She turned to Damian, her lips forming a small pout.

"I'm hungry," she mumbled, looking up at him with pleading eyes.

Damian blinked, surprised at how quickly her mood shifted. Then, a soft chuckle escaped him.

"What do you want to eat?" he asked, brushing a stray strand of hair from her face.

Tanin didn't hesitate. "Spicy noodles… made with peanut butter," she said, her eyes shining with craving. "And a chilled chocolate milkshake."

Damian gave her a half-smile and pinched her cheek lightly.

"Peanut butter in noodles? That's a weird combination."

"It's my craving," she argued, swatting his hand away.
