I'd never admit it, but I'm worried about him. Really worried.

"I'm worried about Connor," Tess says, biting her nails.

"I couldn't care less. I'm only here because-"

"If you didn't care, you wouldn't be shaking."

A gasp escapes my lips. I grip the edges of my seat to steady myself.

"I'm not-"

Silence. Just for a moment.

"I never told him my name."

Tess shrugs. "Connor is capable of things I don't understand. For one, he has an uncanny ability to be a great judge of character." Tess gives me a look.

"Then I wonder why he took interest in me."

The nurse's jaw drops. She shakes her head.

"You're unbelievable."

The blonde considers something then smirks.

"I guess that would make you and Connor the perfect for each other."

"Oh, fuck off."
