“What about a one-day break and I’ll see if I can…serve you…on the next day?” I suggested with a hopeful smile.
I couldn’t quite believe that we needed to have this sort of conversation. Was this normal?
Reiner didn’t seem to be against it, but he did seem quite thoughtful. I watched as he walked over with the food and began laying the plates down on the table in front of me.
“Do you…need to go to the hospital?” Reiner asked hesitantly but I could feel his concern as he peered down into my face.
“Oh no. It’s not that bad. Just…abstaining a little would already help…” I replied as I tried my best not to laugh at his over-the-top concern.
“Eat…” Reiner ordered.
