Alex presses his nostril in my hair. “You dumped me since you obtained scared. That doesn’t cease me loving you. And I’m fairly certain you continue to really feel the identical method.”

I shut my eyes and revel in his closeness. He’s proper. And I’m nonetheless scared. However I nonetheless need him, and that’s not going to vary anytime quickly. I need us.

“Now lie down. Do you need to transfer to your room, or would you like me to go and get a pillow?”

“I can do this.” I push myself off the sofa, however he gently pushes me again down once more.

“You’re doing nothing. Put your toes up.” He walks previous me and towards the hallway.

“Why are you being so good to me?”

He turns and I gulp at how good he appears. God, how I’ve missed him, and it hasn’t even been per week.

“As a result of I like you. And I like Casey. I need us to be a household, and I’ll do what it takes to point out you I’ll take care of you.”

My eyes prick with tears.

He may have simply left the nation and never regarded again. However he’s right here for me—for us.

Returning moments later, he fingers me a pillow and a blanket from the bed room, and I lie down.

“I’ll make some meals. You relaxation.” Bending over, he kisses my temple earlier than heading exterior to the automotive.

I shut my eyes and, with my headache lastly receding, drift off to sleep.

All my anxiousness is gone with Alex’s return. The sofa is snug, however nonetheless not the very best place to relaxation. Nonetheless, I sleep higher than I’ve in days.

And once I wake, he’s sitting in a close-by chair watching me.

“Hey, sleepyhead.” His smile makes me really feel all heat inside. This. This seems like regular. It seems like what our lives must be like. Collectively.

“How lengthy was I asleep?”

“About 4 hours. Casey binged Paw Patrol, ate a sandwich and now she’s quick asleep too. I determine you each want it, although. How are you feeling?”

I push myself up right into a seated place. My head spins, however it simply takes a deep breath to regular myself. “Higher.”

“Glad to listen to it. Get into mattress and I’ll deliver you thru some lunch. I’ll take the sofa tonight.”

I’m not about to argue. I seize my pillow and blanket and make my method up the hallway and into my room, flopping onto the cool sheets and sighing.

He’s modified the sheets on my mattress.

I may weep at how considerate he’s. At the moment I’m not so dangerous, however final night time I used to be a large number of sweat, and I may do with a change of clothes myself.

As an alternative, I pull the covers over me and snuggle up with my pillow. Something extra requires method an excessive amount of vitality.

I doze till the scent of cheese fills the room, and I open my eyes to see Alex holding a steaming bowl of meals.

“What’s that?”

“Mac and cheese.”

My eyebrows rise. “You made mac and cheese?”

“Out of a packet. I’m not a horrible cook dinner, however I’m not that good.”

I push myself up, and he fingers me the bowl and a fork. If I’m trustworthy, he may serve me something proper now, and I’d in all probability eat it. My abdomen grumbles as if to agree with me.
