Scarlett Xavier saw Julian Rhodes, reached out to push him, and said, "Julian."
She knew this guy, promised well, but would ultimately be unreliable.
Julian was in a deep sleep, heard her voice, gave her a doting kiss on the cheek, and said, "Be good, don't fuss."
Just like before when she called him to get up, he'd find it noisy, kiss her, and then hold her as he continued to sleep.
Scarlett was held by Julian, looked at him sleeping, and couldn't bear to move.
Never mind, he seemed pretty busy lately, plus grandpa's illness, lots of things going on, Scarlett couldn't be bothered to disturb him further.
Held in his arms, watching him, she didn't move.
She stared at Julian for a while, if they were destined to part in three months, then she...wants to treat him a little better.
...
With Scarlett by his side, Julian slept longer than expected.
He opened his eyes and found Scarlett being held by him, her big eyes looking at him.
He coughed and said, "Awake?"
