Evander’s face darkened. Just as he was about to let go of Tricia, she gripped his arm tightly. “Evander, I’m still not feeling well. Would you come with me to pick up my medicine?”

Evander accompanied Tricia to the pharmacy to get her prescription. As they walked back, Tricia glanced at him and noticed how distracted he seemed.

Evander fixed her with an unreadable stare.

Tricia didn’t dare look away. Instead, she nervously clenched her fingers. “Evander, are you… upset with me?”
