In His Arms

“You do look a little flushed,” Andrew said, concern etching his face. “Maybe you’re coming down with something. Do you want me to drive you home?”


Flushed. Yeah, his whole body was probably flushed, considering his skin felt hot everywhere. He tried to play it off, even though he couldn’t look them in the eye. “Nah, I’m fine. Probably just tired from a long week. I’ll check in with you guys this weekend.”


“Okay, but don’t forget the football game on Sunday,” Mark reminded him. “Come over to our place around eleven or so. The game starts at noon.”
