As they continued their meal, Emily broke the silence. "Adam, I realized that someone was taking care of you during your coma. When I came to you that day, the nurse actually asked if I was the one taking care of you. It's obvious that I was only able to find you with Nirik's help. So, could it be that the girl we saw outside was her?"
"To be honest, I'm not sure how I got to the hospital. I was in my apartment before," Adam explained.
"The same apartment? What exactly happened to that apartment?" Emily asked.
"Now that I think about it, I've wanted to avoid that place altogether since it brought back unpleasant memories of my past," Adam stated. "However, maybe it would give an answer to how I got to the hospital."
Adam slowly put his utensils down, his plate cleanly finished. Emily, who had barely touched her food, looked stunned at Adam's quickly emptied plate.
"Did you swallow it whole?!" Emily asked sarcastically.
"Actually, you're the one eating so slow. Are phoenixes always eating this slow?" Adam playfully teased Emily.
"You want me to change my form and eat you whole?" Emily teased back.
Adam smiled, thinking of them when they were younger. They used to tease each other all the time. Adam, however, had always playfully bullied Emily because he was attracted to her. Emily slowly ate her food, wondering if Adam was having a stroke, smiling like an idiot.
After they finished their meal, they stepped outside and instantly vanished. Adam dropped to the ground as they teleported home. "I'm still not used to using chi as mana. It takes a toll on me," Adam said, regulating his breathing and taking in the mana-rich environment of his home.
Emily easily picked Adam up off the ground and carried him over her shoulder. She then threw him onto the couch, letting him rest to regulate the mana in his body. "Why not tomorrow we go over to your old apartment?" Emily asked as she went into the kitchen to get some drinks from the fridge.
"Yeah, I wonder if my stuff is still in that apartment," Adam said, getting up and sitting on the sofa. Emily came and sat beside him, placing the canned drinks on the table. Emily kissed Adam and then quickly sat on his thigh.
Adam kissed her passionately, feeling her soft lips become more aggressive with his. Her tongue moved aggressively in his mouth as her breathing grew deeper. Adam aggressively pulled off her clothes, moving his fingers up her body. He grabbed and squeezed her, making her breathe deeper as she aggressively kissed Adam.
