"Who? Who is it?" I ask again, only to be answered with sighs. Just when I proceed to hang up the phone for the third time, he speaks. "What are you doing to me, Rosalind?" "What?", I frown in confusion. "Look at the damn clock. It's three in the morning. Why can't I just get you out of my head and sleep in peace?" "Excuse me?", I yell furiously. "Who is this speaking?" Another exhausted sigh is heard from the other side of the phone. "It's Suveer, son of your boss.", he sounds irritated, as if he isn't in the mood for a conversation at this hour of the night. "Just listen, okay? I want you to get out of my head and let me fucking sleep." The telephone receiver slides off of my hand in pure fright. In no way my mysterious caller is the son of my boss.

There's this silence between us that stretches longer than it should, and it wraps around my chest like a weighted blanket. My throat tightens. I stare at him like I'm trying to memorise the face of someone who shouldn't exist. A dream made real. My lips part before I can stop myself. "Were you sent by my dad to take care of me?" The question hangs in the air, trembling like the last leaf in autumn. Aiden's gaze softens. His lips tug into the gentlest smile I've ever seen. It's the kind of smile that could mend broken wings. "No" he whispers. "I volunteered." The words hit harder than I expect. Like a punch wrapped in silk. I gasp, air leaves me in a rush I can't reclaim. But before I can fully process what he's just said, he takes a step closer. His fingers ghost over my cheek, brushing away a tear I didn't realise had fallen. And then-he kisses me painfully slow. His hand cups the back of my neck, anchoring me to a moment I never want to end. And just when I think it's over, he pulls away just enough to look at me. His thumb traces the damp trail of tears down my cheek. He doesn't say anything. He just leans in again, and kisses them away. One by one. My tears. My pain. My silence. All kissed away by a boy who didn't come to save me because someone sent him. He came because he chose to.
