Bastien's Obsession
In Arthur’s room, Cristy was crying beside him.
“Come on, big guy, wake up. I promise I’ll be your slave. If you want to get married, we will. I’ll give you the child you asked for, but please… don’t leave me. You’re an idiot, how could you get into an accident?” she sobbed, forehead resting on her hand. “Please wake up.”
A warm hand touched her head. Cristy looked up and met Arthur’s half-open eyes.
“I heard ‘slave’...” he murmured weakly. Cristy smiled even through her tears.
