His palms raise.

Each of his eyebrows angle up. “Okay…however you kinda obtained me in a field right here, Syd.”

I can’t let him get to me or wiggle off the hook. “Me being sick? Do you actually suppose that’s what I wished to debate the primary time I met your dad and mom?”

His mouth pulls to the facet. “How are you, although? Are you feeling alright?”

I stomp the floorboard. “That isn’t the purpose!”

The decreasing, silky tone suggestions off the lady in me. “We’re good,” I whisper.
