━━ 𖤓 AFTER SHARING A CONVERSATION with Tobin that lasted longer than expected, Aaron opened the front door and entered the house. He returned back into the living room to see that Scarlett had fallen asleep on the couch. Her head rested on the pillow with a few pieces of her hair in her face. He walked further into the room and couldn't help but smile softly upon seeing her look so peaceful in her sleep. After everything she'd been through—she deserved peace.
Aaron quietly made his way over towards her, taking the blanket that was hanging over the back of the couch and gently draping it over her body to cover her up. He moved the pieces of hair that'd fallen into her face out of the way. His blue eyes trailed over her face for a moment, finding her to be...perfect. His thumb gently brushed over her cheek as he continued to admire her for a moment.
With the way his heart skipped a beat, he knew he'd developed feelings for her. It was insane to think about—knowing that he'd fallen for her in the short amount of time they'd had together. It felt impossible, yet so right at the same time. Ever since he saw her in that tiny room, all alone in the corner, looking broken because of what she'd went through with the saviors—he felt an overwhelming sense of responsibility to keep her safe. To protect her.
