“Was she mad?” I asked, ready to defend her even though I had a feeling that it wasn’t like that
with Ember and Gabe.
She shook her head.
“Honestly, she was happy that I was getting you ‘out and about’ and not letting you ‘hole up in
your apartment.’” She grinned. “Though, I had to tell her that I was the one to see you there. I hadn’t dragged you anywhere.”
I grunted out a, “Shit.”
She rolled her eyes. “They care about you. Just like they do about me. You’re going to have to get
over it.”
I scratched my head and she stood up, walking over to the refrigerator and getting her food out.
I blinked when I saw her remove an entire pizza box.
“That’s the lunch you prepared?” I asked, grinning.
The scars pulled around my mouth, but I didn’t care.
Not when the woman was so full of surprises.
She rolled her eyes. “You don’t remember this, but I can burn water.”
My brows rose.
“I have a shit ton of pots and pans in storage,” I said. “I apparently can cook. People that can’t
cook don’t have that kind of shit in the first place.”
She smiled, looking sad for a few seconds.
“You and Luca used to see who could cook the best meals,” she said. “The week that y’all were
off for leave? I ate like a queen.”
I felt my chest puff up.
“If I can remember how to do that,” I said, “I’ll cook you something.”
She winked, even though she looked sad.
I wanted to bring her into my arms and hug the shit out of her.
Instead, I sat back and allowed her to heat me up half the pizza before she did the same for
herself.
“I know you don’t like pineapple,” she said. “So, you’ll have to pick those off.”
I picked up the piece of pizza and examined it.
It was so weird.
There were things that I just knew instinctively.
