take hold of my hand.

“See you in a month, unless a problem pops up,” Dr. Hodgson says with a pleased smile.

“Have a good day,” I murmur before we leave.

I let out a breath of relief as we leave the medical center. There’s always the worry that my body will reject the donor tissue. Hearing my eyes are healing well, eases my worry.

Before we reach the car, I lift Fallon’s hand and press a kiss to her thumb. “Thank you for bringing me.”

“I thought it would take longer,” she mentions as she unlocks the doors. “I’m glad it’s all good news.”

After we climb in the car, I say, “I can’t wait for the color to return.”

During the drive back to campus, I feel Fallon growing tense again. “Are you excited for the weekend?”

“Yeah, we’ve never gone away.” She quickly adds, “Just the two of us.”

“I like the sound of that,” I murmur while grinning.

A smile flutters around her mouth. “Going away with me?”

“No, just the two of us.”

We make it back to Trinity in one piece, and the instant we’re out of the car, I pull Fallon into a hug. “That’s one milestone conquered.”

“Yeah, I feel better now,” Fallon admits against my chest. She lifts her face to mine, and I press a kiss to her lips. “First food, then a nap.”

“Sounds amazing,” I chuckle.

Once we’re back in the suite, Fallon places an order with the restaurant while I grab us each a bottle of water.

“The order won’t take long. I’m just going to change into sweatpants and a t-shirt,” Fallon says before she disappears down the hallway.

I might as well do the same. I walk to my room and change into comfortable clothes before tidying my bed, so it’s not a mess when we come to take a nap.

When I walk back into the shared space, Fallon’s sitting at the island in the kitchen. My eyes glide over the hair hanging in her face, and it grates against my insides.

Moving to her, I lift my hand and brush her hair back. She quickly turns her face away. “Don’t do that,” I whisper as I take hold of her chin to turn her face back to me. “Let me see my beautiful girlfriend.” I lean forward and press my lips to her scars. Keeping still, I take a deep breath of her, then I pull back and lock eyes with her. “God, you’re breathtaking.”

Her chin trembles, and she swallows hard as she drops her gaze from mine. “Only two weeks.”

There’s a knock at the door, but I first press a kiss to her forehead before I go to answer. I take the food from the delivery guy and carry it to the counter. “What did you get us?”

“Vegetables. Lots of veggies. You’ve been eating too much junk food,” she chastises me.

I pull a playful disgruntled face as I open the container, and sure enough, Fallon ordered a vegetable platter. I can’t even make out half of the food, but not wanting to disappoint Fallon, I keep my face expressionless.

“Humor me,” Fallon chuckles. “You can have a burger for dinner.”

“I can live with that,” I joke.

Able to make out the corn on the cob, I pick one up. Fallon pops something that looks like a mushroom in her mouth, and before I can take another bite of the corn, she brings her fork to my mouth and whispers, “Open.”

I do as she orders, and when I taste the mushroom, the corner of my mouth lifts.

When we’re done with our way too healthy lunch, I grab Fallon’s hand and drag her to my room. “I was a good boy, and I ate all my veggies.” I grin at her as I shut the door behind us, and this time I lock it. “Now for dessert.”

Fallon lets out a burst of laughter as she climbs onto my bed. “What kind of dessert?”

Placing my knee on the mattress, I crawl over her. Lowering my head, I gently bite her bottom lip, then murmur, “Your mouth.” I press a kiss to her neck. “Your skin.” Moving down her chest, I push up her shirt, and my teeth scrape over her hip. “All of you.”

Fallon’s voice is low as she teases, “What happens if someone walks in on us?”

“I locked the door,” I growl as I push her sweatpants’ waistband a little lower. Glancing up at her and seeing her eyes focused on me, I say, “Unless you’re tired and you want to sleep.”

She shakes her head,
