A lump rises in my throat. I don’t know why but I don’t want him to know about my mom. I don’t want the pitiful expression everyone gives me. They begin treating me differently and I just…don’t want anything to change between us.
It’s been nice, and surprisingly hot. I don’t want to lose that.
“I’ll explain everything later,” I lie once more, hating the way it tastes on my tongue.
And by the small divot between his brows, he knows I’m lying. He takes a step back, crossing his arms over his chest. “Okay. I’ll wait here for the food.”
The sudden change makes me pause. “Really?”
“Yep.”
Glancing sideways at him doubtfully, I can’t believe how quickly he switched up. I don’t have time for this, though. I’ll inspect the man under a microscope when I get back from visiting my mom.
I quickly put on the slippers he packed for me, ignoring the twinge of warmth in my heart at everything he has done and continues to do for me. Without looking back, wheeling my IV drip with me, I call over my shoulder, “I’ll be back soon.”
