After scooping some meals onto the fork, I take a chew and set free a moan in time with my abdomen grumbling. “That is wonderful. Is it significantly out of a packet?”

He laughs. “It’s. It’s a kind of issues that’s at all times been a consolation meals once I’ve not been effectively, so I believed possibly you’d recognize it. I additionally known as my mother on the best way right here and requested her for some concepts on what to make my two sick women.”

Putting my fork again within the bowl, I examine him. “You informed your mom about us?”

He nods. “We’re fairly shut. She’s the wild youngster in our relationship, although. I used to be fortunate to succeed in her as a result of she’s backpacking by way of Europe.”

“Backpacking?”

Alex chuckles. “I can’t wait so that you can meet her. She’s fairly distinctive.”

At that, I swallow onerous. He actually is critical about us being again collectively. And it’d be the simplest factor on the earth to sink into his arms.

Possibly we by no means ought to have been aside within the first place.

It’s so onerous to suppose when my head’s nonetheless thumping.

I wolf down the meals, and he takes the bowl from me.

“You’re so good to me,” I say.

“I like you.” He stands, smoothing down the blanket. “Is there anything you want earlier than you fall asleep?”

I shake my head. “All I wanted walked within the door a number of hours in the past.”

His smile is faint, and he reaches out to cup my cheek, operating his thumb all the way down to my lip. “I’ve missed you.”

“I missed you too. I’m sorry you ended up right here this manner, although.”

“I’m not.” He vegetation a kiss on my nostril. “I’ve been attempting to provide you with excuses to come back and see you.”

“I’m sorry, Alex.”

He shakes his head. “It is best to by no means have been handled the best way you have been. I’ve been pondering so much about the best way to defend you from that.”

I swallow onerous. “I hold fascinated with that, however I believe it’s half and parcel of your life now. You could have followers. A few of them are going to suppose—“

“The one factor they should concentrate on is my work. You and Casey are off-limits.”

“However—“

He locations a finger on my lips. “If you and Casey are effectively once more, I would like you to come back to the States with me.”

My coronary heart price accelerates, beating out of my chest. “What?”

“I’ve been speaking to Reece. He and Josh have the identical issues about their households. We are able to work with them to be sure to’re effectively protected.”

Tears effectively, and this time it’s not as a result of my temperature is hovering. Alex loves me, and regardless that I already knew that, he’s doing this for me.

Nonetheless, transferring to a different nation is a big alternative. It means uprooting my little lady and taking her away from the one life she’s ever identified.

“That’s a giant choice to make.”

He runs his tongue over his decrease lip. “I do know. However I’m about to take this subsequent step in my profession, and I don’t need to do it with out you.”
