It was as if I had discovered a treasure, a flavourur that would forever hold a special place in my heart. The taste danced on my tongue, melting effortlessly, leaving behind a trail of pure delight. Overwhelmed by its deliciousness, I couldn't contain my excitement and blurted out, "This is truly the most exquisite cookie I've ever had in my entire existence!" With heartfelt gratitude, I thanked Zade for making this culinary masterpiece exclusively for me.Att that moment, amidst the sweetness of the cookie and the warmth of his gesture, I knew this experience would linger in my memories...
As I indulged in a couple of those delightful cookies, a wave of drowsiness gently washed over me. Zade, being the caring soul that he is, handed me my medicine and tenderly draped acosyy blanket over me. As he leaned in to tuck me in, his face so close to mine, I could feel the warmth of his breath, causing my heart to flutter with an unfamiliar rhythm. With a gentle pat on my head, he whispered, "Sleep tight, Hazel."
Curiosity tugged at me, and I asked, "Where will you sleep?" To my dismay, he said, "I am leaving now." Saddened, I pleaded, "Can I convince you to stay?"
Concern etched on his face, Zade asked, "Is something troubling you?" In aper, I shared, "Don't leave me here alone." He tossed his keys aside, kicked off his shoes, and declared, "Who said I was leaving? Just show me where my spare blanket is. I'll gladly sleep on the floor."
Surprised by his gesture, I asked, "Are you sure?" He reassured, "Don't worry, I'll stay as long as you need." A smile graced my lips; my heart beamed with joy, finding solace in his presence.
As he settled on the floor, his tossing revealed his struggle to sleep. I stifled a laugh, ensuring he remained unaware.
In a playful tone, I teased, "Give up already, champion. Just come and lay next to me. I am not a ghost. I won't bite you." His response caught me off guard as he stood up, declaring, "I am not going to take charge of any consequences." Amused by his cryptic remark, I chuckled, prompting him to join me.
As he lay beside me, as our gazes met the ceiling, I turned to face him, my heart overflowing with gratitude. Speaking softly, I expressed to Zade how profoundly thankful I was for his presence in my life. Zade, with a gentle smile, remained silent as I continued, "Zade, this warmth I feel with you, it's unlike anything I've ever experienced. It's as if I'm on the brink of losing my mind. I should rest now." At my words, Zade turned towards me, taking my hand and drawing me closer.

A rush of unfamiliar emotions flooded me. His closeness made my heart race, and I could hear the rapid beat of his own heart. Zade whispered, "Hezlin, I've never felt such warmth before, until you. It's like finding a missing piece of myself. You're my sanctuary, and I would move mountains for you. I truly mean anything."
His words mirrored my feelings, leaving me teary-eyed. I asked Zade to pause, my heart heavy with the fear of attachment. Zade, sensing my distress, gazed into my eyes, gently wiping away my tears. "Hezlin, just tell me what's wrong. I promise I'll understand." The ache in my heart grew. How could I confess my fear of losing the one I love the most?
When I shared my fear of losing the person I love the most, it broke something inside me to admit it. Zade's reaction, with his fierce protectiveness and anger towards anyone who might have hurt me, showed the depth of his emotions and his determination to shield me from pain.
As I struggled to find the words, his reassurance and understanding created a safe space for me to open up and share my deepest fears and emotions. His comforting words and actions, when he wiped my eyes and tenderly said, "Just come here, let me hold you," revealed his caring nature and his desire to provide comfort and support. His promise that this was the last time I would cry and his vow to protect me from any harm demonstrated his deep commitment to my well-being.
