Celeste pouted. It was all because of him.
"You were so absent-minded just now that you even forgot to breathe. Now you are distracted once again. Do you want me to continue performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on you?"
"No, I don't," She immediately retorted, "I wasn’t distracted at all."
"Then come and eat," Gary said.
Celeste did not move.
Gary paused and he suddenly bent down to pick her up.
"Let go of me," She was startled. He really liked doing things his way without getting consent from others.
"You aren’t walking because of the pain. You just want me to hold you, don't you?"
"No," Celeste was no longer in any pain, but Gary did not seem to believe her, "I can walk on my own."
"Forget it. What if it hurts again?" He picked her up and said gently.
Celeste looked up slightly at Gary who was in front of her.
Coincidentally, their eyes met.
