Chapter 43

“It’s not that you haven’t been sensitive or attentive, I’m trying to tell you that you’re not alone in having things on your mind and that’s okay. We help each other. We’re two halves of a whole now. Someone cuts you, I bleed. I love you.”

“Shush, we’re in a diner.” Mark peered around at the other tables.

“Don’t worry, you won’t get bashed here. We can even hold hands.” Mark blushed. “Now eat up so we can go shopping.”
