Without another word, Nate scooped her into his arms.
Caught off guard, Corrine let out a quiet groan.
Nate looked down at her, concern flashing in his eyes. “What is it?”
Her gaze dropped, her voice low with unease. “It’s nothing. | just hit my back earlier.”
But before she could offer any reassurance, he had already carried her to the bed and gently laid her down. In
one smooth motion, he turned her over to inspect.
“I told you—it was only a slight bump,” she murmured, trying to brush it off. But her protest ctoo late. Her
clothes were drawn back, exposing her skin to the night air. A chill rippled across her spine.
His eyes darkened when he saw the bruise—faintly purple, already spreading across the small of her back like a
cruel blossom. His jaw clenched, lips pressed into a thin line. “This was from the bump?”
Corrine lay there, unable to answer. Anxiety pinned her down more firmly than his hands ever could.
Without another word, Nate turned and strode out of the room.

He had barely taken two steps when a small, tic moan cfrom the bed. “Ouch... it really does hurt...”
As expected, he stopped in his tracks. Corrine smirked, watching as he turned back toward her.
“Let’s go to the hospital,” he said, his voice taut with concern.
She seized the moment, throwing her arms around his neck, a playful spark dancing in her eyes. “I knew you
cared about me.”
Nate’s face remained stern, but he did not pull away.
Corrine nestled against his chest, her voice muffled by the fabric of his shirt. “I know | was wrong. Please don’t
stay mad at me, alright?”
For a long moment, he said nothing. Then, a quiet sigh escaped him—resigned, affectionate. “What am I going to
do with you?”
She lifted her head, her gaze locking with his. There was something unspoken in her eyes, something raw and
sincere. “Nate,” she said quietly, “let's get married.”
The words struck him like a bolt of lightning—unexpected and jarring.
He stared at her, stunned. “Are you serious?”
