Better off without you!
A little earlier …
"Please be okay!" Ian felt his heart breaking into pieces over the unresponsive Shelby. Seeing her in that state yet again had shattered something inside him. She was deathly pale, almost white, which was also very alarming.
To compound that, as he reached for her and his hand touched her, her body felt a little too cold for his liking, even though he could faintly hear her short and weak breaths. That was the only thing that gave him a semblance of relief.
Once there was life, there was hope, but she was barely hanging on…. and this scared him shitless. "Come back to me, my Elfin!"
Ian crushed her almost limp body really close to him as if he could push some of his warmth and life force into her. If that was what could save her, Ian had o issues pushing everything he had into her, but he knew it was not possible, at least in that scenario. Ian spent no more than forty seconds in that place, but it felt like forever.
