Gavin's POV
The urgent knocking shattered our intimate bubble like glass hitting concrete. Julia's body tensed beneath mine, her nails digging into my shoulders as Doctor Caspian's voice echoed through the wooden door.
"Gavin! Julia! Are you both inside?"
My blood turned to ice water. Julia's eyes went wide with terror, her grip on me tightening as if she could somehow make us both disappear. I was still buried deep inside her warmth, my body refusing to cooperate with the sudden interruption. Every nerve ending screamed in frustration.
The doorknob rattled violently, sending another wave of panic through both of us.
Thank God I had the sense to lock it.
The pounding grew more insistent, followed by my father's commanding voice cutting through the air like a blade.
"Gavin! Julia! Open this door immediately!"
