Rowan pushed the car near a garage and the storm took a harsh turn. It started thundering and raining, and sapphire was getting scared of this weather. She was sensitive to this harsh weather.
Sapphire : rowan, the weather is so harsh now. Every shop is closed, what will we do now? She was scared and worried about their selves.
Rowan just nodded and said,“ you simply wait here, and I will check everything here. Okay, you wait".
She just frowned and held his arm and said, “I am worried. It's too much raining. Where will you go now? We can sit inside the car."
Rowan : in this weather, it is too risky to sit inside the car under the sky. Anything can happen. You wait here, I will search for someone.
Sapphire refused to leave him and nodded in no, but he jerked her, and he started knocking at one door of the garage. Rowan was fully drenched now in rain. He found an old man peeking out from a small window in the garage. “Yes? " He questioned him.
Rowan : my car is not working properly, can y9u fix that? He asked the old man, who looked back at the car…
“I would love to help you sir, but my workers are not here who can serve me, so I am sorry. I would suggest that you must take shelter here in this weather". He recommended.
Just then they heard a thunder and sapphire screams for rowan. He looked back at her and ran towards her…
Rowan ran to check whether she was fine or not. As soon as he opened the door, she hugged him tightly, crying, and pointed towards a cat who died on the street because of thunder. Rowan just put his palm on her eyes and rubbed her back,“ just don't look there, okay. Just don't ".
Sapphire kept sobbing on his chest when they heard that man's voice,“ sir the storm looks dangerous now I would suggest you guys to take shelter here. Come on, come here".
Both looked at that old man who advised them to stay in his garage and opened the door for them,“ the wind is strong, the trees might fall down on the car which can damage it. So pull it here inside, it will ve safe ".
Looking at sapphire, he wiped her tears and said,“ just one minute" he pushed his car inside the garage, but they regretted that instantly as the garage smelled like alcohol. Some men were having a party with some dancers and they were touching them.
That garage man looked at rowan and said,“ sir, you can take my son's room. He is out of town now. You can keep madam there. It is safe there. You can stay there until the storm is not down" he suggested.
Rowan nodded in yes, and then he opened the car door and found sapphire still crying remembering about that cat. He just wanted to keep her away from these people and environment. He took the room keys from that man.
Furthermore, he gave his shirt to sapphire so that she could cover her body from those people. “Wear my shirt”.
Sapphire : what?
Rowan didn't say anything else and just covered her with his shirt and took her inside his arms. He follows that old man who showed them his son's room.
Sapphire looked at him, who was almost hiding her in his arms like his life depended on it. He always wants her protected in his arms.

As soon as they entered, they found one single bed, a small table and a small washroom in the side. Rowan frowned in the room and mumbled pathetic.
Sapphire twirled her eyes around the room and said, “no, it's actually cute ".
Rowan rolled his eyes at her and made her sit on the bed and went towards the owner, and he said,“ should I arrange clothes for you ?".
Rowan nodded in no, but that man said,“ sir madam might catch a cold, so I can bring my wife's clothes for her" he said politely.
Rowan nodded in no and looked back at sapphire who was shivering in cold, he replied“ no I have some spare shirts in my car. She will wear that and thank you for your help".
He went out of the room with rowan on his back. He took his shirts from the car and came back to the room. Furthermore, he found her still shivering from the cold, as there was not much to hide her body from the cold.
Moreover, he handed the shirt to sapphire and said,“ go and change your clothes ".
Sapphire : why?
Rowan : if you don't change, you will get sick from this cold.
Sapphire went near the window and said,“ I am not habitual for your care. Just don't show this attitude towards me".
ROWAN : why did you start again? Don't do your drama again…
Sapphire : drama? This is not some excuses. You are making me crazy. You have to save me from rain, from people's dirty gazes. Why this care? If you care about me, then why did you leave me and why you want to hurt me? I haven't done anything wrong with you until now, then why?
ROWAN : it was you who made me leave you, not me. When I wanted to come close to you. You just pushed me away, making a disgusted face.
Sapphire : no, it's not the truth. I just wanted to know if you like me or not. The way I loved you, whether you have ever loved me or not. But no, you just have to put the finger on my character. The only truth was that I gave my everything to you. Didn't I have any right to know whether you love me or not?
Rowan just rubbed his face and sat on the small couch and said,“ it's of no use now. I won't take you back in my life again".
Sapphire : it's not about you now. I will decide now whether I want to stay in your life or not. Who will stay in my life? I will decide what I want in my life, not you. I don't want your support. It was my mistake to talk to you. I thought if I talk to you, we will solve our problems and I will get to know if you like me or not.
Rowan ignored her emotions and replied and wiped his body,“ I don't need to say anything now. If you can't understand my actions, then I won't say anything to you. My actions should be enough. If you can't understand that, then it's your fault, not mine".
Sapphire : I know I slapped you it was not because of your closeness, it was because of your accusations on my character.
“Now spare me this bullshit. I am not interested in sorting out everything with a girl like you. Because you guys only want some cheap clingy things, and I am not one of them" he shouted this time.
Sapphire : you are taking me wrong, rowa...
Without letting her finish he just roared “now it's enough. You won't raise your voice at me again. I don't take this shit. This is your story, not mine. What about me? How did I spend my last one year without you, I can’t explain? What is love? I don't know, rowan Hudson was never the person to believe in this shit again. The way I felt about you, I have never felt about anyone else. You are special. I wanted to hold you in my arms. I wanted to protect you in my arms. Furthermore, I wanted to worship your body and soul. Likewise, I wanted you to love me, care for me like nobody ever did. Furthermore, I want to… "
