“Do not leave my side,” Eryx spoke, unable to hide the concern in his eyes as he looked at me. And I wondered if he, too, was memorizing the details of my face like I was doing to his. Even though he wore a helmet, I saw all the features of his beauty: the shape of his eyes, the perfect slope of his nose, and his flawless lips. He touched his hand to mine. “No matter what happens… stay with me.”
