Which was ridiculous. I just didn't feel comfortable being alone with a woman inside my room when Elena's already…. Ugh what am I even thinking!
Sarah meanwhile began preparing the medical supplies professionally while Alaric sat at the edge of the bed looking mildly irritated by the entire situation.
As Sarah carefully started removing the old dressing, Elena watched quietly while eating fruit.
Then suddenly… Sarah smiled while glancing between them.
"You two are very cute together. I saw your Instagram post yesterday."
Alaric nearly sighed aloud.
Of course.
Elena however reacted far quicker.
"Thank you so much… it's just easy with a partner like Alaric," she replied smoothly before smiling naturally. "Though he becomes grumpy whenever someone touches the wound."
"I do not. When did that happen?"
"You absolutely do."
Sarah laughed softly. "That's normal for injured patients."
Elena pointed a grape toward Alaric. "See? Medical confirmation."
