Chapter 82 - The Perfect Prescription

Cadence was used to being direct, but she knew it wasn't always the best way to go about things. This seemed like one of those occasions. She could tell that no matter how many times she assured him she was feeling fine, James would still hold back. He was being incorrigibly considerate…and it was only making her want him more. Cadence leaned into James's chest and wrapped her arms around him. She deliberately let out a disappointed sigh and he held her close, as if in apology. "James… it's true this cold has taken a toll on me…but I feel like I'm wasting this trip just napping and watching movies" she said carefully. James stiffened a bit but didn't respond. Not wanting him to misunderstand, she continued. "Don't get me wrong! It's been really nice taking it easy with you and you've been doing such an amazing job taking care of me. I just don't want us to go back to Austin and wish we had done more."
