Chapter 62: Starving

Luke staggered, taking a step away from her. His chest heaved as if she was stealing the very breath from his soul.

"Luke," she said, reaching out to him and gripping onto his shirt. "I don't want to lose you. I will fight whatever and whoever to make sure that doesn't happen, even if it means fighting you."

His heart skipped a beat, and then it pounded so hard under her hand that he was sure she could feel it. He took her in, the way her hair shone and picked up the radiance of the sun's last rays around them, how her blue eyes were so open, so vulnerable to him that he could see the depths of courage and care in them. She was everything, everything he could ever want or dream of. She was his all.
