"Baked pears. He specially ordered them in the middle of the night," Gavin explained, placing the still-warm bag
of pears. "He said your throat sounded hoarse, so he got this to help."
The warmth seeped into my palms as | stared down at the bag and tea. It was such a thoughtful gesture- one
that leftmore confused than comforted.
Gavin had already started the car. "Ms. Kay, should | take you to Emberholm?" he asked, referring to Willow
Residences, where | lived.
Hearing that, | suddenly realized how Jace had foundoutside my place that night. Clearly, Gavin had done
sdigging and passed the info along. "No." | said flatly.
Gavin paused, his meeting mine in the rearview mirror. "Then... where should | take you?"
"Pull over," | said quietly.
Gavin jolted slightly at my request but obediently pulled the car to the curb. He glanced back, clearly confused.
"Ms..."
| cut him off. "I'm not going home. I'll head to the surgical recovery unit."
For a moment, | had been so caught up in everything that | nearly forgot-Yuna was still in the hospital recovering.
Gavin's expression shifted, like he understood. He knew about Yuna's surgery, which meant Jace probably did

the door handle.
"Ms. Kay," Gavin called, his gaze dropping to the bag of baked pears in my hands. "Mr. Johnston really does still

himself for what happened back then.
I didn't want to get into it. With a faint smile, | replied, "He cares just as much about other people too." Gavin
looked like he had more to say, but | didn't give him the chance. Lstepped out of the car. "Be sure to eat the
baked pears while they're still warm" he called after
me.
| gave a quick wave and walked briskly toward the hospital building.
As the elevator carriedup to the recovery unit, | glanced down at the baked pears in my hands..
The soft, golden pears glistened in the clear glass bow a few mint leaves perfectly arranged on top. They looked
just as flawless as the first tJace had bought them for me. I'd loved them so much back then that I'd even

When | reached Yuna's room, | assumed she'd still be asleep. But to my surprise, she was sitting up in bed,
reading-not a romance this time, but study material. "Keira, what are you doing here? Weren't you and
Hayden supposed to be at the competition?" Yuna asked, looking behindas if expecting him to walk in..
"We didn't go. Something cup, so | cback early," | said, placing the baked pears on the table and sitting
beside her.
Yuna's face immediately filled with concern. "You didn't have a fight with Hayden, did you?"
| laughed softly. "No, we didn't fight. If we had, trust me, | wouldn't be here."

"Oh, thank God," Yuna breathed, visibly relieved.
"How about you? How are you feeling today?" | asked, watching her face for any signs of discomfort.
"Great!" Yuna said enthusiastically, motioning toward the stack of study materials next to her. "That's proof.
