The moment Paul woke up, he started blabbering again. "We just got out of a dangerous situation together, Narissa. You should feel something for me now. I'd still do it again if I were given the choice. If you promise to date me, I'll train myself once I get out of the hospital. I promise I can protect you. Um, Narissa? Hello? Earth to Narissa?

There was nothing but cold fury in Narissa's eyes, yet her heart hurt. This was a regret of hers. Life was filled with it, and she ran into one of the worst ones life had to offer.
