“Willow, this is getting awkward.”

“Do you have a little crush on Jax? You can tell me. I’ll keep it a secret.”

I hurry and scoop some warm chicken noodle soup and basically slap the spoon against Willow’s mouth.

She opens up and closes her eyes.

She swallows the soup and makes some weird orgasmic sound.

A sound I never want to hear her make again.

Sadly, I endure that same sound three more times before she calls it quits on her soup adventure.

I place the soup down on the nightstand.

I make Willow drink some water.

I casually check the cough medicine Jax gave her.

No, he didn’t do anything wrong. He didn’t drug her. He just got really potent stuff. Stuff that obviously has Willow feeling relaxed and loopy.

“Time for sleep,” I say. “Get comfy. No sleeping sitting up. You’re going to hurt your neck.”

I tuck Willow in.

I touch her forehead.

She’s not burning up.

She’s just rundown and sick.

I take a deep breath and leave her bedroom.

I’m wondering what my position is here.

I’m not sure I can just leave her like this.

Hey, you can always call Jax to come back! You and he can take turns… shifts, right?

I swallow hard.

I tell myself I need to get in touch with Ward. Tell him what’s going on.

Maybe he can come sit with his sister.

Why’s that, Mila? So you can run off and find Jax and flirt with him?

Now, that I heard in my head in Willow’s voice.

I touch my forehead, wondering if I’m getting sick too.

This whole Jax thing is not even a thing.

He’s a pain in the ass.

I’m in a relationship.

That’s the end of it.
