“Where is … my father?”

“He’s on his way,” Bee says, as she looks at the nurse and principal. “I called him.”

I smile at her boldness and borrow from it. “I need a minute alone with Pax.”

When the door shuts, I look at him.

“Don’t you ever stop breathing again, Hadley,” he says, as he pushes his forehead against mine.

“It’s really hard to do when you’re around,” I admit.

He closes his eyes. “When I’m not?”

“It’s bearable.”

“Will it be like that forever?” he asks.

I sit back and shrug. “I won’t know unless I try.”

He nods his acceptance then stands, kissing me on the top of my head before he turns to walk away.

“Pax?”

“Yeah?”

“Breathe.”

“As long as you do, so will I.”

“Promise,” I say, feeling panicky.

“Yes.”
