"Why do you love me?" The question came as a shock to her.
"Tyki…" She moved so she was sitting on the bed and pivoted to face him. "What is wrong with you? Are… Are you saying you don't love me?" Her lips parted.
"I shouldn't love you.. It's not right. Noahs aren't supposed to fall in love with humans."
"What the heck is a 'Noah?"
Tyki's eyes widened with shock.
