"No, it's not that. I just feel… I don't know. That woman Gloria fashes me, that's all."
"Do not let that woman ruin a beautiful day. She won't 'fash' you anymore."
"How can you know that?"
Alex pats my thigh and gives me a reassuring smile. "Because I won't let her harass you anymore. If she tries it, I will report her to the police for stalking."
I don't know if that would work, but Alex is right. I can't let one woman ruin a perfectly beautiful day.
He pats my thigh again. "Feeling better? You're not biting your lip anymore."
"Aye, I feel better. You always know what to say to cheer me up." I lean over to kiss his cheek. "I love you, Alex."
"Yes, I know."
That's all he says. What else can I do? I've never been good at making anyone confide in me, and I donnae like to force the issue. But the longer he avoids telling me how he feels, the more I realize I shouldn't let him sidestep his feelings. But for today, I will enjoy the time I have with him. Tomorrow…
He'd better start talking.
