Ryan’s POV:

I wait for her response, feeling my own patience wearing thin. I can't let her refuse me; I'm determined to do anything to make her stay.

This woman drives me crazy; she just doesn't seem to understand what I'm trying to convey. She acts stubbornly, like a little child, and it frustrates me.

All I want is to protect her, to keep her safe and close to me. The thought of someone hurting her sends shivers down my spine.

Yet, she looks at me as if I've offered to eat a cockroach. She furrows her brow in frustration, about to speak, but interrupts her when I twist my body slightly, wincing as a sharp pain shoots through my back from the wound.

Until now, it had only been a strong throbbing, but suddenly, a wave of intense pain washes over me.

I let out a soft grunt, trying to bear the pain as best as I can. Eve's concern is instant, and she leans over me, her eyes filled with worry.

"Ryan, are you okay?" she asks anxiously, scanning my face frantically for any sign of distress.
