His brows pull together. “You’re worrying me, Mia. Are you gonna be okay?”
“I’ll be fine. I will. I need to lick my wounds in peace. I’ll see you at work tomorrow.” With one hand on the door and the other at his chest, I push him across my apartment threshold.
“Okay, I won’t harass you again. But when you’re ready to talk, I’m here for you.”
“Thanks, Jared.”
“Come here.” He pushes my door back open and wraps his arms around me. Pulling me close, he rocks us side to side. “Love you, Kitten.”
“Ugh! Stop!” I groan but don’t jerk away. His kindness pricks at my damn feelings again. I cried into my pillow until I fell asleep, so you’d think there’d be no tears left.
“Fine, fine, fine!” He squeezes me once more and backs out the door. “See you tomorrow, Kitten. It’ll all be okay. I promise.”
I nod and shut the door when he turns away. I pray to God he’s right.
