Chapter 34: Take Her Breath Away

"Okay, Romeo… I understand. Can I heal you now?"

"Who's Romeo?" Chris asked in confusion.

Elsa blinked at Chris several times before breaking into laughter. Her laughter was so infectious that it prompted a chuckle from Chris, even as he insisted on an answer to his question.

"Elsa, who is Romeo? Is there another man besides Jai that I'm unaware of?" Chris inquired, which only fueled Elsa's laughter.

After a while, Elsa placed a hand on her chest as she tried to regain her composure. "Good Lord, I shouldn't have laughed like that on such a sad and mournful day. But I couldn't help myself," she admitted, taking a deep breath before explaining to Chris. "Romeo is a fictional character from a romance novel in my world. The name has become an expression or a nickname for someone who's overly sweet or romantic."

"Are you saying that I'm romantic?" Chris asked with a smirk.
