An internship awaited Danylo in the states, and I still had a few more years of university. There was no chance for us to continue our relationship.

Therefore, we loved each other for exactly thirty days.

We loved each other to death. Opening new worlds and giving unforgettable emotions every day. Every time I looked into his eyes I felt calm, I felt that I was alive.

I had a heart transplant, so I could live, but only when I met him I finally started breathing.

Denys, you and I were connected by heart. You literally saved for me. And I loved you as much as a human soul can. Because of you, I lived, breathed, existed. But then he appeared. Damn snarky, but painfully loving. He knew I would never love him as much as I love you. Knew and didn't leave. It's been exactly one thousand eighty-six days since I lost you and a part of me. And less than an hour had passed since I realised that Ilovehim.

Chapter 42

"What is it?" I look at the keys that Danylo put in front of me.

"Your keys."

I raise my eyebrows.

"And what should I do with them?"

"How are you going to open the door of our apartment while I'm not at home?"

"Which door?"

"Our apartment." He repeats, as if this is the most ordinary thing.

A smile spreads across my face.

"I rented an apartment for us until the end of this month. I am sure you will like it."

I look around.

"And if we run away from the lessons, and you give me a tour of our new apartment, how many rules will we break?" I ask.

"With you, I am ready to break all the rules of the world." Danylo kisses me, takes my hand and leads me out of the university.

The apartment is located not far from the university. We go up to the fifth floor. This is a new building, and everything here smells of renovation. I love this scent.

Danylo opens the door, and my hands start shaking.

We will live together. And it doesn't matter that it's only three weeks. We will make these three weeks unforgettable.

We go inside. The apartment is spacious and simply huge. We pass into the living room, where there is a huge grey sofa. A cosy kitchen spread out on the left. And on the right side is the door that leads to our room. White curtains hang on the windows. In the middle of the living room is a soft grey carpet. And in the corner there is a huge bookcase.

I could put all my books here. Put a chair near the closet and read in the evenings.

I close my eyes. I can't believe this is true. Everything looks like a dream.

"Do you like it?" Danylo's hand is on my waist.

"Of course," I confess.

"I tried to find the best apartment for you, darley."

He kisses me. As always. As only he can. Gentle and passionate at the same time. A kiss full of love. I will never get used to it. To his hands on my waist, to his scent on my body, to the marks of his lips on my skin.

I want to feel the chill on my skin every time he touches me. I want to feel a flutter in my stomach every time he whispers something to me. I want to lose my mind every time he kisses me.

Danylo picks me up in his arms and I gasp.
