Josh’s eyes focused on Akira’s hands, going back to his green eyes whenever he paused or stopped writing. Nodding his head, Josh knew that was true, and even if he couldn’t save someone’s life, he could, and has saved others.
“You’re right. Thanks Akira…I plan on talking with Harumi when everyone’s awake. And since Elizabeth is coming over, I have to make sure she’s okay.” Josh glowered almost at the sound of her name coming from his mouth. He shook his head and ate the rest of his food, feeling extremely satisfied, nearly full from the food he ate. “And I have to stay near you when she’s here…or at least I’ll have to keep an eye on her. I don’t want her being around you, especially if she finds out….about us.” Josh ended with a very low voice, almost inaudible.
