"But I heard from the crew that you have already beaten him hard before leaving. I missed the wounds because they heal faster." he chucked, a soft laugh that warmed her but made her stomach churn. She could not take her eyes away from his lips. Those lips.. She missed them on her body too.
"Bella, can you promise me one thing?" she blinked and looked at him, confused but despite all the hesitations, she found herself nodding.
"Do not be part of this fight, Bella."
"...." there was pain in his voice. As if he was begging to her.
