“Feeling you this way, having this bond between us, it’s the greatest blessing I could ever ask for. Not a burden.” Something warm and comforting coils itself around my heart. Still, I can’t let it go. “But if all it’s bringing you is more pain and misery on top of everything else, what good is that?” Eren reaches up and wipes away a tear from my cheek. “It’s still a blessing, because I know when you need my help the most.”
