“Askel should be the one to explain it but before I left he was diagnosed with epilepsy,” he told her.

Her eyes widened in surprise.

“He’s an epileptic?” she whispered and shook her head.

“Askel is going to be ok, Kira,” he told her firmly. “Say it.”

She mouthed the words.

“Say it,” he ordered her grabbing her chin.

“He’s going to be ok,” she said.

He kissed her nose and went to release her face but she pulled him into a kiss.
