“The time. I’m sorry I was such a mes and that I ruined your shirt,” the bold me. I smiled at her.
“I think you handled it remarkably well, and the shirt fint mined. How about I get you something to snack on? Get your blood sugar up and dilute the adrenaline.” [suggested.
“I can de x,” she said and started to detangle herself. I put pressure on her hands
*36, 1 will get it. And besides, it gives me a good mouse to see if you have any cookies I can inhale,” I told her. She gave me a smile, it didn’t mach her eyes, but it was good start. As I stood us had to battle the compulsion to bend over her and place on her head. I belt like the most natural thing to do. But I managed to stop myself and redirect my body to walk into the kitchen.
The cooker are in the napleand above the kettle.” Hana called hem the couch.
“Thanks, Do you want to tea?” I called back
weetness.
“Uve, milk?” she snowed and I chuckled. I found a tray and looked it with two glasses of milk and a big pile of cookies. When I turned to Hen she was starting to look better. She had got some
for back on her cheeks and her body looked more relaxed. I sat down and we enkred the milk and cookies in silence for a while. They were out as delicious as yesterday and I took my tima savouring each bite. My phone hozzed, it was Denny letting me know his men had come in collect their meleague who was conscious, emptied my ges of milk and tumed to Hon. She was looking into space, deep into her thoughts on she was nibbling on a rookie

outside. Can I borrow your key so I can lock the door?” I asked her. She looked at me and nodded.
“Sure, there is a spare one in the bowl on the side table in the hallway,” she said.
“Ok and a dustpanTM”
“In the first cupboard in the kitchen. Are you sure I shouldn’t help?” she asked.
“I’in sum. It won’t take me long” Limited 1 made my way to the choos and locked the door behind me. I winn’t worried that someone would get past me, but I wanted on to feel sale. Most things that had scattered were salvagosble. There were no perishables so nothing had been spoiled. I picked it up and placed it back in the bags and leaned them against the wall next to the door The bay offer and two other things had to be thrown away and tided it up. I took plures of the packages and then headed downstairs. I knew there was a supermarket at the end of the block. It took me a while to find what I was koking for, and on my way back I stopped to buy some pizza. Ignised lane wouldn’t be up to cooking and I didn’t want to intrade. The kitchen seemed to beste space and I would respect that. As I walked up the stains I wondered how the hall Flats had made it, lust the theme things I had in my bag and the pizza was enough to make me feel going up the stairs. The bags she had been carrying would have weighed the times as much. It got me pissed, she didn’t deserve to live like this. Every day was a struggle for her and wished she would let me help her more. I sighed as I unlocked the door and took everything inside.
“I put wrything on the counter and let you set it out schen you feel like I would d put it away for you but I have no clue where you keep it,” 1 called out.
“Thank you, I appreciate it. 1 guess I need to go back to the star too she replied.
“No end, you have verything”
“What? But I saw the four all over the floor,” she objected.
“Yeah, I did a quick trip to the store while I was at it to replace the things that I couldn’t save. And I get pizza I didn’t think you would be up for cooking.” I said as I walked up to her, holding thebos, napkins and soda. Her eyes got big.
“Thank you How much do I owe you?” she asked. I waved her question away and opened the boo
i’s okay with you I was planning on staying and having a slice or two with you. That saves me from having to cook in well.”
“Sure. It would be nice with some company,” said. Then she looked at the pz and stated. “I really shouldn’t eat this,” she said.
“Why? Don’t you like pepperoni? You’re not vegan are you? hit an allergy?” I asked, feeling the an idiot for not asking bure I got the pizza.
“No, no. It’s not that. It’s just. I have already vaten cookies today and I don’t red to put on more weight,” she told me. She was looking down at her hands that were fiddling in her lip covered them with one of mise and wondered who the fuck had put ideas like that into her mind.
Sweetness, you are perfect. A couple of shoes of pu will not change that.” The woods had slipped out of me here I could stop then. They were true, god knows I had spent enough time fantassing over Hara’s body. But maybe it won’t night of me to think about hur like that.
“Really?” she asked. The live in her voice sail me just her hand she had believed me. I fucking hoved that, he should know how gorgeous she was, that her body did things to me that made me feel like a teenager. Bu that would be crossing the line
“Really, now tuck in before it gets cald.”
