#Chapter 90

Despite that I want him to stay and be with me. I crave safety and comfort at the moment. And being left on my own will drive them away from me.
/"Of course,/" I say and look at the buttons of his jacket.
/"Do you want me to stay?/"
My heart squeals at the prospect of that but my mind quiets down to let me do the right thing.
/"No. You spent last night taking care of me. Thank you for that. But you should go and look over things at your company./"
Why do I feel so sad about not spending the rest of my day with him?
/"If you need me, then I'll be there for you. No matter what./" That's the kinda promise a best friend makes.
/"You'll be here in the evening./" I smile at him.
/"I could be here for the entire day if you want./"
My stomach fills with butterflies and I can feel them creating a cloud of magic dust that brings back old feelings.
