"If I return home, a life awaits me without you." Your words sounded like a whisper filled with pain. "But if I stay with you, I will live away from my family and homeland. My blood is very important to me..."

You felt Jamie’s hand tighten your waist, drawing you towards him.

"More than me?" You saw the thin layer of tears soak his eyes despite his serene face.

Jamie was not a person to show feelings, but seeing you doubt between him and your homeland made him afraid. Afraid of losing you.
