Ian sighed, knowing perfectly well that he could not say 'no' to that look. It was near impossible for him, especially, when he had just gotten her back from the grasp of near-death.
He gently flicked his finger on Shelby's pretty nose and kissed it. "You sure have me wrapped around your little finger,"
Shelby giggled as Ian helped her put on comfortable clothes after the two assistants left the room. After donning a simple dress and a fluffy cardigan, Ian carried her princess style and disappeared from the hospital.
Shelby didn't question Ian's choice of transportation, but instead, she wrapped her arms loosely around his neck. They materialized right in the school's hallway, and Shelby was taken aback by the fact that it was already dark outside. Her day had been a flurry of activities and visitors since she had regained consciousness, and time had been the last thing on her mind.
