He Has A Soft Side

We sat in Nuri's basement sitting in a circle. I nervously bite my nails causing Wesley to pat my hand gently before holding on to it tight. Lila sits with her head down as we wait for Nuri to come downstairs."So, have you been settling in well"? I ask looking towards a surprised Lila. She sends me a nervous smile.

"Yes thank you" she says before quickly putting her head down. She was very shy from the moment I met her. Suddenly my eye starts to throb painfully and I squeeze it shut waiting for the pain to run it's course.

"Hey are you okay piggy" Welsey asks taking notice of my shut eyes. I nod telling him not to worry. A few seconds later Nuri makes her way down the steps with a few drinks in hand.

"Sorry it took me so long. My mother was getting suspicious". Nuri passes me a bottle of water. The pain in my eye subsides for now.
