I swallowed hard and met his gaze. His piercing gaze made me forget that I was in his room. I tried not to take notice of his masculinity or how much his half-naked body was doing to me but then the doctor's words flooded back.

'He was the one who brought you to the hospital that night you were drenched.'

"You are back-" I cut him off, throwing my arms around him. Emotions welled up in me as I tightened my arms around him. I couldn't stop the tears from forming in my eyes at the fact he was the one who saved me that night. Saved a stranger. He's been saving me from the start, he had been saving me from the very beginning and I never took notice. Those legs I saw that night belonged to him. Why didn't I take notice of that all those while?
