Ava's Pov:
Leon spoke to the doctor and I got discharged a few minutes after he and I kissed. It felt like heaven. I had never felt such intense desire for anyone until now.
The ride home was silent. Pearl already left with the car she brought me in, so I had to ride with him. He kept his hand on my thigh the entire time. I felt safe, protected, wanted—all the things I always wished for.
He opened the door for me, took my hands and held me as we walked into the house.
"I'm not dying Leon, I can walk."
"You sure? Because it seemed like your legs were shaking at the hospital."
"Oh my God." I playfully hit him on the chest. "You joke too much."
"And you get shy too fast."
"Whatever."
I sat on the couch while he went into the kitchen. A few minutes later, he came back out with the chef behind him. He brought in trays of food and a variety of fruits and snacks.
"How did he prepare this so fast?"
"I told him to before I got to the hospital."
"What?"
