Chapter 6 - Adrian Kissed Me—Then Walked Away Because He Knew Loving Me Could Make Me His Greatest WeaknessAfter the accident, everything changed.
Adrian became protective.
Too protective.
He assigned security.
Changed my apartment locks.
Installed alarms.
I became angry.
“I don't need a bodyguard.”
“You do.”
“I need a normal life.”
“You don't have one anymore.”
“Because of you.”
He stared.
“That isn't fair.”
“Neither is this.”
He looked away.
Then he whispered:
“You're right.”
I expected him to argue.
He didn't.
Instead, he stepped closer.
His hand touched my cheek.
“Nora…”
I looked up.
He kissed me.
It wasn't aggressive.
It wasn't possessive.
It was careful.
Almost hesitant.
When he pulled away, he looked devastated.
“This can't happen.”
“Why?”
“Because everyone I love becomes a target.”
I touched his hand.
“Maybe I don't want you deciding what I'm afraid of.”
He stared at me.
Then walked away.

But I knew.
He loved me.
