Hearing the ruffling noise on the bed, Maximus turned and looked at Alexandra slowly waking up. She was clutching the sheets and her eyelids were trembling. It looked like she was trying to open her eyes, but she couldn't.
It was then he calmed his heart to not worry about figuring out a way to let Alexandra know that he is Tubby. He felt like something much more sinister is brewing. Every time she faints, he would feel some sinking feeling, but this time he was not feeling anything. He felt detached from her as if the chord that connected him with Alexandra had broken.
«Was it severed? How?»
And now he was scared to the max. His major aim was to have a happy life with Alexandra this time. He had hopes till then and suddenly he found himself losing hope as everything seemed against him.
"Lexa…" he called her name and she slowly opened her eyes.
