Looking at him, Finnian seemed so utterly lost that it was hard for anyone to muster the will to scold him.
Amara sighed, rummaged for sfever medicine, and handed him a glass of water. "Here, take this."
She knew Finnian was too out of it to respond, so she carefully pried his mouth open and slipped the fever
reducer in, following it up with swater.
Thankfully, he was compliant, swallowing the medicine and then looking up at her. He looked just like a little
abandoned puppy, the kind that tugged at your heartstrings.
Amara turned away, trying not to look at him any longer, worried that her resolve might crumble if she did.
She was contemplating whether to call the Everly family member to cpick him up when suddenly a pair of
arms wrapped around her from behind, clutching her waist.
Startled, she tried to pry his hands away. "Let go of me."
Finnian pressed against her back, his face nuzzling into her neck, murmuring something she couldn't quite catch.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis warm breath tickled her neck, making Amara feel both embarrassed and flustered.
Gritting her teeth, she pinched his arm sharply. "Let go now!"
Apparently, the pinch did the trick, as Finnian finally released her, allowing Amara to slip away.
Seeing him still sitting quietly on the couch, she sighed again and fetched a blanket.
"You can sleep here for the night. Just make sure you're gone by morning."
She didn't want Finnian staying, but he seemed too out of it to understand her, and there was no way she was
going to sleep outside somewhere while he stayed in her place. So, she decided to make do for the night.
As she set the blanket down, Finnian grabbed her wrist.
Before she knew it, the world spun, and she found herself lying heavily on the couch with Finnian on top of her,
pinning her down.
Amara's eyes widened as she looked up at his face, now much too close. Panic set in as she exclaimed, "What
are you..."
Before she could finish, Finnian's lips were on hers.
He held her face, kissing her with an intensity that pierced even through the fabric of her mask.
Amara was terrified, pushing and hitting him, but he was immovable, like a mountain. Tears welled in her eyes.
"Letgo!"
Finnian continued to kiss her aggressively, which scared Amara and her mind flashed back to that rooftop
incident. Then, she kneed him, not quite sure where she hit, but it was enough to make him grunt in pain and
pull back slightly
Amara shoved him off her, and he fell onto the floor.
She didn't care that he was still
feverish. After what he had done et
why should she? She stepped over him and dashed to her bedroom.
She slammed the door shut, clutching her chest as her heart raced.
Finnian had been so quiet earlier, doing everything she said, and Amara almost softened towards him.
But then he had to go and ruin it; her resistance to him once again surged up, and now all she felt was

She closed her eyes for a moment,
trying to appease herself, and once her emotions settled, she opened the door again. Finnian was sprawled
awkwardly on the Couch, asteep.
Amara paused.
He was quiet again, and she realized he really had been out of his mind with fever
earlier.
