Chapter Nineteen

Joni woke up to Leon reading. She couldn't exactly say if he was reading to her or to himself but his voice was like music to her ears.

She'd never admit that to him though!.

She stayed silent listening to him read until she suddenly sneezed and he stopped.

"You're awake." He smiled. "How do you feel?".

"Like I took a swim in the Arctic Ocean." She replied.

Leon chuckled. 

"You saved me." It wasn't a question.

"Yeah."

"Why do you keep doing that?". She frowned.

"I can't not save you Joni." He told her. "Should I have left you outside to catch pneumonia and die?".

"I don't want you to keep saving me." She said. 

"Then don't put yourself in a situation that'd require me to save you." He said. "How about that?".
