Fumbling, I angled my cellphone display towards me. “Shit, it’s virtually six.”

“How do you are feeling?” Zane requested.

“Unsure,” I stated actually. “Did you keep right here this complete time?”

“Mmmhmmm.”

“Did you sleep?”

“For a bit.”

My abdomen cramped as the necessity to pee hit exhausting.

“I’ve to make use of the…”

Zane let go of me, and the lack of his physique contact despatched a flash of chilly via me.

Reluctantly, I sat up, then stood, groaning as my sore muscle tissue screamed at me. I’d by no means perceive how being in mattress all day might be so bodily taxing. I didn’t get this sore after a day of putting in drywall.

I did my enterprise as shortly as doable, attempting not to consider how I’d simply spent the complete day sleeping with Zane wrapped round me.

What did any of this imply?

“Hungry?” he requested after I got here again to his room to seek out him sitting on his mattress.

“No, however I ought to in all probability attempt to eat one thing.”

“How about some soup and possibly a grilled cheese?”

“Yeah. That may work.” I pressed a hand to my abdomen because it growled. I used to be in that state the place my physique was ravenous however the considered consuming made me nauseated.

I adopted Zane into the kitchen and leaned in opposition to the counter as he opened the fridge.

“There’s roasted tomato soup, and I feel that is butternut squash.” He popped the lid off a container and sniffed it. “Yup. Butternut squash and ginger.”

“Possibly the tomato.”

“Are you able to strive some grilled cheese?” He held up one other container and flipped open the lid.

I’d anticipated the kind of grilled cheese my mother used to make, which was primarily a slice of American cheese between fried sandwich bread. This one was made with thick slices of what appeared like French bread, and had precise grill marks on it.

“Yeah, I can strive.” My abdomen growled once more.

I watched as he puttered across the kitchen, heating up the soup on the range and the grilled cheese within the oven. He additionally stuffed two tall glasses with ice water.

When the meals was prepared, we carried all the things out to the lounge.

We ate in silence, which was largely as a result of I had no concept what the fuck to say. The meals was superb, and I used to be capable of eat each chew.

“Thanks.” I went to face as he cleared my dishes.

“Sit, I obtained it.”

“You certain?” I requested.
