“Can we wait till tomorrow?”
Part of Nox feared he’d lose his courage, but he also understood why Luca asked. If it failed and Nox died, this could be the last day they had together. “I need you to make me a promise.”
Luca shook his head. “No.”
“Please.”
“I know what you want to say, and the answer is no.”
“Luca.”
“No, Nox. No. If this kills you, then I’m not staying with them. I don’t care if my cancer comes back. So you better make sure you survive if you want me to survive too.”
