Chapter 17 : Tasty

*Beth’s POV*

Daniel’s reaction to my thanking him bothered me as I prepared for the day. I considered what he had done for me as I brushed my teeth. He had nursed me back to health even when I tried to fight him off. I even left bruises on him, which I felt guilty for. It was true that he was the reason I was sick after what he put me through at the soccer field. But that made us even in my mind.

Even though I was unconscious, I still hurt him. While I thought about this, I washed my hair and put it in two long braids. The shower felt so good that I stayed there until the water ran cold and the mirror became foggy. I dressed in leggings that I found in the closet and a black tank top. They even had mouthwash and facial cleansers. It felt like I was staying in a nicely stocked hotel.

Feeling more refreshed than when I woke up, I padded down the stairs, wondering who I would find in the kitchen.
