“Doesn’t seem like you’re struggling.” I remarked. “Perhaps not like that. But as far as sympathy and sensitivity, I’ve been told I can come off rather…” “Harsh?” “Thanks.” He frowned. “But yes.” “You are harsh.” “I don’t intend to be.” He defended. “I don’t think you do, I just think you’re incredibly direct and most people don’t know how to take that.” “I suppose not.” He grumbled. Walking away. He rounded the kitchen bar. “You hungry?” Starving. “No.” I said slowly. “I’m okay.” My stomach gave a drawn-out growl in objection. The mere idea of food making it holler. I tried to recall what I’d eaten earlier today and realized I hadn’t. It’s been a weird day. He leaned across the counter. Propping his chin on his palm to give me a pointed green-eyed stare.
