The drowsiness on his face disappears as his eyes land on the picture. “With Killian?” Mia prods on as he doesn’t say a word. “You went through my stuff?” “I bumped into your books and it fell.” She shifts on her feet. “Why do you have a picture of them together?” He tries to sit up but the small effort brings discomfort to his fresh wound.

MIA'S POVIt is almost midnight when Mia arrives in the apartment. She expects that Roman is already asleep but as she turns the light on, she sees him sitting by the windowsill, idly playing with the leaves of the fake plant. His eyebrows quirk up at the sight of her. “You alright? You seem shaken.” “I’m fine.” Mia manages a weak smile, her eyes darting back to the fake plant. “I saw what happened back in the coffee shop.” The air between them suddenly crackled with tension. Mia subconsciously reaches for her left arm. The dark expression on his face disappears as he lets out a sigh. “Come here.” Roman already has a first aid kit ready by his side. He rolls her long-sleeves upward revealing violet lines of healed scars all over.
