The answer came too fast.

He noticed.

“Nawl.”

I grabbed my drink and took a sip.

“I'm fine.”

For a second, I thought the feeling was gone.

Then it hit me again.

Not enough to make me sick. Just enough to make me pause.

Maybe it was the coffee.

Hell, maybe I hadn't eaten enough earlier.

Whatever it was, I didn't feel like making a big deal of it.

“You sure?” Kyrie asked.

I nodded.

“Yeah.”

His eyes stayed on me for another second before he finally looked away.

I picked my fork back up and tried again.

The weird feeling eventually settled, but I noticed myself eating much more slowly than usual.

Of course, Kyrie noticed that too.

He noticed every damn thing.

“You don't like it?”

I looked up. “I do.”

“Then why you barely touching it?”

I pointed my fork at him. “Do you ever stop paying attention?”

“No.”

I already knew that answer before he said it.

A small smile pulled at my lips.

“It's good. I'm just not that hungry.”

He looked like he wanted to argue, but thankfully, he let it go.

For now.

And honestly?
