Abigail's face was burning red. Her throat was finally better now after the third time Alex made her drink water from his mouth. He didn't even give her a chance to decline him. 

"Want more?" he asked, causing Abi to frantically shake her head. 

"I… I'm fine now, Alex," she told him as she covered her lips with the back of her hand. "I… I can drink on my own. Y-you don't have to do that," she stammered.

She thought that this man had no idea how his actions were affecting her. No matter how much she told herself that he was only doing that to help her, her heart couldn't take it. She was afraid she might totally forget to breathe or swallow the water if he did that again.

"T-that's not it."
