Chapter 472: Suffering, Part 2

Six hours later, Trent and I arrived back home. My entire body ached from all the walking - despite taking a million breaks throughout the day - and all I wanted was to curl up on the couch with Trent and fall asleep while watching a movie.

Trent made four trips from the car to the house, carrying in all the stuff we'd bought. Of course, he refused to let me help. I toed off my shoes and sank down onto the couch, sighing with contentment at the feel of the soft cushions cradling my body.

"Hungry?" Trent asked as he carried in the last of our purchases and kicked the door closed.

"Not really," I said.

I'd overeaten during lunch, and then I'd insisted on buying too many snacks - pretzel bites with cheese, a smoothie, candy. I probably wouldn't need to eat again for a week. Trent hadn't said a word about any of it, either. He simply smiled and bought me whatever I wanted.
