After catching a whiff of her scent, Isaac couldn't help but draw closer to her. His hand gripped hers tightly before he planted a warm kiss on her lips.
Ever since Brittany's misfortune, he hadn't been able to share an intimate moment with her.
Lately, he had been up to his ears dealing with Jason's issues and dodging traps set by Manuel Salter. He'd only slept seven hours in three days. He was beat.
He finally had a moment to himself, but when he heard Lionel was around, he rushed over, worried Brittany would be taken away.
After seeing that Brittany was still there, Isaac breathed a sigh of relief. His kisses became gentler, and were filled with love.
Brittany wrapped her arms around his neck, accidentally tugging at her wound. She let out a small moan of pain.
"What's up?"
Isaac immediately checked her wound. Brittany shook her head. "I'm okay. Just moved the wound a bit. It stings."
Isaac felt a pang of regret. The soup on the bedside table had gone cold, giving off a pungent smell.
Brittany wrinkled her nose at the smell, feeling like she was about to throw up, but nothing came out.
"Bri, are you okay?"
Isaac quickly helped her up, patting her back gently with his large hand.
Brittany pointed at the soup. Isaac immediately dumped it in the trash and cleaned up, then poured her a glass of water. "Have some water."
Brittany, feeling awful, took a small sip of water. It took all her strength to suppress the urge to vomit, and then she slowly leaned back.
Isaac felt terrible as he watched her feel so uncomfortable. "I'm sorry, I forgot fish soup has a fishy smell."
"Don't blame yourself. I should've finished it."
Isaac put down the cup, took her hand, and gently pressed it to his lips. "I've been busy these past few days and haven't been able to pay you much attention. Are you mad at me?"
No, she wasn't.
She was just worried that her problems would involve Isaac.
Brittany felt a pang in her heart as she looked at the fatigue in his eyes. "Haven't you been resting properly?"
"I've only slept seven hours in the past three days."
This immediately put Brittany on edge. "Three days and only seven hours of sleep? Don't you care about your health? If you don't, I will!"
Isaac chuckled, climbed into bed, pulled her into his arms, and gently kissed her earlobe. "So, I want to rest now. Will you keep me company? I'm beat; I just need a couple of hours."
Isaac put on a show of being weak, knowing that Brittany had a soft heart.
Brittany worried he'd be uncomfortable sleeping here. "You should go home and rest; this bed is tiny."
"No, I want to be with you."
