CHAPTER 41 Mine

  "Flynn?" Hazel woke up, her vision still blurry. She felt someone caressing her, and that someone was Flynn Bezos. Her lover.

  Could Hazel call him that?

  "Hazel?" Flynn kissed the back of Hazel's hand and wiped the tears from her face. Flynn's expression softened, and he smiled! Hazel was really surprised but she liked it very much. Flynn acting strange. He became so... emotional?

  "Are you crying?" Hazel asked, teasing a little. Flynn nodded and laughed softly. It felt as if the burden on his heart and shoulders was lifted instantly. Hazel smiled and licked her lips. She felt very thirsty.

  "Could you get me some water?" Hazel asked as she tried to lean against the headboard. Flynn quickly helped her change positions. Before answering, Flynn checked Hazel's forehead.

  "Your fever is gone," he said gently.

  "Did I have a fever?" Hazel asked, confused. She didn't remember the state of her own body.
