Chapter 160: Kissing His Girlfriend
"I don’t want to hurt you," Grace repeated, her voice trembling slightly.
"You won’t," Dr. Kian said firmly. "At least, not intentionally. And if it gets too much for me, I’ll tell you. But for now, all I’m asking is a chance. A chance to be a part of your life in a way that matters."
His words hit her like a tidal wave. She had been prepared for rejection, for anger, for a dozen different outcomes, but not this. Not his unwavering acceptance.
"I... I don’t know what to say," she admitted in a voice that was barely above a whisper.
"Say yes," he said simply.
Grace looked into his eyes,
"I feel like I have got a life coach in the form of my boyfriend." She teased, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
Dr. Kian chuckled softly in response. "That’s a good thing for you. You have got enough to worry about with the apocalypse. Your personal life shouldn’t be one of them."
Grace smiled lightly before she said, "I’ll talk to them... as soon as possible."
Dr. Kian nodded his head in understanding, not pushing her. "That’s good. And don’t forget, you have me here with you."
His words wrapped around her like a warm embrace, easing some of the tension in her chest. She moved, closing the space between them before she pressed herself into his waiting arms.
For the first time in what felt like forever, she was feeling like she finally had someone to call hers.
Her very first boyfriend!
