staff for quite a while before nodding to Brie to join him.
    “It looks like Wallace has indicated he will decline my offer. Shall we go change his mind, Brie?”
    “Let’s,” she answered, feeling more confident with Tono beside her.
    The look on Faelan’s face when Tono walked through the door was priceless.
    “What the hell are you doing here?”
    Brie smiled to herself as she shut the door behind them. Those were the exact words she’d used the day Faelan had surprised her at the Training Center. She took it as a positive sign.
    “I’m your donor.”
    “Like hell you are,” Faelan said, struggling to sit up on his own.
    The difference in Faelan from yesterday to today was startling. Anger seemed to be a good motivator for Blue Eyes. Brie walked over to help him, but he glared at her with those ocean blues. “Get away. You should have told me.”
    “I just found out myself,” she protested.
    Tono sat down and stared at Faelan, waiting patiently for him to calm down.
    “Come join me, Brie,” Tono suggested, pulling a chair next to his.
    Brie left Faelan’s side and sat down, unable to hide the smile that threatened to escape.
    “What are you smiling about?” Faelan snarled.
    “I’m just glad to see you’re feeling better.”
    “I’m not feeling better, I’m dying. Are you really that dense?”
    Brie giggled.
    Faelan punched the controls on the bed so that he slowly moved into a sitting position. “Laugh at me again,” he demanded.
    A remark Mary would make came to Brie’s mind, but she kept it to herself, struggling to keep her smile from widening even more.
    “You’re unbelievable, Brie,” Faelan growled.
    “What’s unbelievable is that you’re planning to turn down the surgery,” Tono stated.
    “Yes, I decided last night. I don’t want someone else’s kidney and I refuse to spend my life on dialysis. What I really want is to die.”
    “And yet you have a willing donor and the chance to reverse your circumstances. Why would you turn that down?”
    “I didn’t ask for your help, old man.”
    Tono smiled. “You must be referring to the difference in maturity between us, since I’m only five years your senior.”
    “Brie, get him out of here,” Faelan demanded.
    Tono answered evenly, “But I wish to help.”
    “I don’t want it!” Faelan insisted, pounding his fist on the bed. Tono’s demeanor did not change. “Explain why.”
    Faelan looked him coldly in the eyes. “I want to die, damn it! I already told you that.”
    “But you don’t have to.”
    Faelan roared furiously, “I said I don’t want your help!” When he broke into a fit of coughing afterwards, he glared at Tono as if it were his fault.
    “Why are you refusing a new kidney, which will ensure your health and prosperity?”
    Faelan glanced at Brie, those big blue eyes beseeching her to agree with him. “It’s not worth the risk to him.”
    When Tono argued the point, Faelan snarled, “Do I have to spell it out to you? I’m not worth the risk.”
    “Tell me why.”
    Faelan growled in frustration. “Go and live your life, Nosaka. Have kids, get old and croak at the age of a hundred. That’s what you are meant to do.”
    “And you?”
    “I was supposed to die years ago. I shouldn’t be here, and fate has finally seen fit to finish the job.”
    “Mr. Wallace, you are as stubborn and strong as you were the day I met you. Nothing has changed except your attitude.”
    “You have no idea what you’re talking about.”
    Brie broke in. “I disagree. That man who came to me at the Training Center and introduced himself as Faelan sits before me now. It’s the same man who earned the respect of our community despite his lack of experience. The very same man who won my friend’s heart.”
    Faelan’s eyes flickered with pain at her mention of Mary.
    Brie continued, “You have no idea the number of people you have influenced and genuinely care about you.”
    “It is your duty to go through with this
