Chapter 50. Time

       I continue to hold my breath even after the call ends. He was crying, Ace Hale cried. 

          He cried because I told him I loved him. I keep staring at my phone, I want to call him back, I want to speak to him. But I also know I need to give him time to gather his thoughts.

    I shake my shoulders in fear when Amanda touches them, I have been so lost in thoughts I completely forgot she was beside me. She has refused to leave me alone since I woke up hours ago.

    Even when he is far away from me, Ace is constantly thinking about me, constantly ensuring that I am well taken care of. 

    I woke up with a very bad headache. The minute I opened my eyes, Amanda rushed to get a glass of water and aspirin. She practically force-fed me some food and a glass of freshly squeezed pineapple. I know Ace must have instructed her to do that while I was out cold.
