But his expression didn’t change as he watched her. She cleared her throat. “You didn’t have to worry, I’m all good.”

Her stomach chose that exact moment to growl again.

Flipping heck.

His eyebrows rose. “You’re all good? Your stomach just rumbled so loudly that the neighbors probably thought it was an earthquake.”

“It wasn’t that loud,” she countered.

Well. It kind of had been.

Oops.

“Are you going to let me in?”

She sighed. “Will you leave without coming in?”

He smiled. “Nope.”

Damn. It seemed her body wasn’t so tired that it didn’t react to him. She stepped back and he walked in. As she moved, she caught sight of herself in the free-standing mirror in the corner. It was the only piece of furniture that had been in the house that she’d liked.

Bebe let out a small scream. “Oh my God!”

“What? What is it?” Corbin asked, setting the tray on the nightstand before turning around.

His gaze moved around as he made his way back over to her.

“My hair! I’m a disaster!”

“You are not a disaster; you could never be a disaster.”

Well, it was nice of him to say so, but it simply wasn’t true. Because right now, she was a complete disaster.

She rushed into her bathroom and picked up her hairbrush.

Oh Lord.

She didn’t think a hairbrush was going to fix this. She wasn’t sure anything other than hacking off all her hair was going to fix this.

And was that mascara around her eyes? Shit! Hadn’t she washed off her makeup properly? She looked like a raccoon.

God, this got worse and worse.

“Bebe? Are you all right?”

The knock on the door startled her and she glanced over at it.

“Um, yes. I just . . . need a shower.”

“Your food is waiting. The ice cream will melt. Why don’t you shower after you eat? I don’t want you getting light-headed in the shower.”

That wouldn’t happen.

Although, a wave of wooziness did have her leaning against the bathroom counter.

“Okay, just give me a moment.”

Even though she’d barely drunk anything, she still desperately had to pee. She sat on the toilet but couldn’t go.
