Megan nodded and patted Leonard on the shoulder. “If that’s how you feel, then that’s the best answer I could ask for.” Leonard glanced at her hand resting on his shoulder, his gaze flickering with something unreadable.
No one knew what was going through his mind.
“Don’t worry. If your cousin truly treats Aurora well, I won’t interfere. I’ll let time take care of whatever feelings I have.”
His words were flawless, leaving no room for doubt or suspicion.
Even Megan found herself moved.
She let out a quiet sigh. “You’re a good guy too, Leonard. But I guess timing really does matter.”
At that, the light in Leonard’s eyes dimmed slightly.
He realized that although Megan always appeared carefree and easygoing, she actually understood more than she let on.
She wasn’t as heartless as she pretended to be.
To Leonard, that sincerity made her even more endearing.
And yet, whenever he found himself drawn to her, he couldn’t help but feel ashamed.
Aurora was still lying unconscious in a hospital bed.
They didn’t even know if she would survive.
How could he already be thinking another woman was lovely?
Megan’s words pierced straight through him like a blade.
He lowered his eyes. “You’re right.”
“Maybe in the next life,” he thought silently.
For now, all he wanted was to stay quietly by Aurora’s side as a friend.
He had no right to wish for anything more.
“Come on, let’s go find a hotel. We can come back another time.”
Leonard picked up the luggage, ready to leave with Megan.
There was no point staying here if they couldn’t see Aurora.
Megan dusted herself off and followed, sipping her tea as she caught up.
