Quincy was about to ask what being a clean freak had to do with anything when she caught sight of her own hands and instantly got it. She tugged awkwardly at her lip. “Sorry, my bad.”
She watched as Everett Lopez moved steadily forward, refusing to be assisted or to lean against the wall. His back remained ramrod straight as if bending was simply not an option.
Quincy knew all too well that Everett must be in agony. The trembling that barely perceptible in his silhouette was telltale. He’d been stabbed clean through with wounds both in the front and back, and his flesh and blood were indistinguishable when he was sent to hospital.

He had never imagined she could grow fond of him, let alone love. But now, with her lying next to him and willing to do anything for him, Everett feared this was just a dream.
He worried that maybe he’d died from the stab wound inflicted by Heather, and all these were illusory.

He didn’t know how long it has been before he heard a knock at the door.
Everett frowned involuntarily and glanced at the door monitor. Seeing it was Jeffrey, he pressed the remote to unlock the door.
