Chapter 632

  “What?”

  “She says do you want her to fetch a coffee for you?” Jake seems to be quickly summarizing the vibes between us and trying to help.

  “Yeah, sure.” Arrick goes back to his hands and even though I catch Jake’s eyes narrowing at his brother, I turn on my heel and head off in search of a vending machine or cafeteria in this place. It’s a private hospital and I’m sure they must have some place to get decent coffee.

  I need to occupy myself with doing, rather than thinking and not to take anything that’s happening between us at face value right now. Arrick is in distress and I have to understand that.
