Chapter 43: A Little Care

< Shirley >

"You know, nobody ever told me anything about themselves as if I wouldn't even understand. But then again I never tried to understand either. I was always lost in my own thoughts. I was selfish. What am I saying? I still am. Yet, they never complained..." I kept telling him about my feelings and Dylan calmly listened.

Suddenly my stomach grumbled. That was when I realized I didn't have any dinner.

"Are you hungry?" he asked and I hid my face with my palm out of embarrassment. I slightly nodded. "I will bring you something to eat," Dylan said and tried to get up.

I stopped him. "No, don't go."

"I will be back before you know."

"But I am not done with my boring story." I pouted and crossed my legs.

He chortled and said, "I never said you couldn't continue without me." With that, he removed my arms and went away.
