He Saved Me To Watch Me Sink

Synopsis

Christopher Quinn came by again, holding my favorite book, The Little Prince. He turned to the dog-eared page. His voice was soft, like he was coaxing a child, as he asked, "Do you want to hear the story about the stars today?" I shook my head, but I couldn't help stealing glances at him—the man who promised he'd always be by my side. Noticing my gaze, he paused for a moment and let out a soft laugh. He asked, "Why aren't you kicking me out today?" I grabbed onto my blanket, remembering how the doctors always said I would never learn how to love. But this time, my heart was racing with a feeling I'd never known before. For the first time, I felt the urge to confess my feelings. I said, "Christopher, I think I..." Just then, my attending physician, Evelyn Summers, walked in and said, "Mr. Quinn, could you step outside for a moment?" Christopher ruffled my hair, gentle as always. He said, "I'll be back soon." But I didn't want to wait anymore. I ran to the door, only to hear Christopher gently congratulating Evelyn. He said, "Evelyn, looks like your project's about to wrap up. Congrats. "Who would've guessed someone with such a severe emotional disorder could actually form an attachment?"
