Chapter 102

Blake’s POV

“Where would you like to go later?” I asked, sitting at Laurel’s bedside with a bowl of porridge, I blew on it gently watching her pale face against the stark white pillows.

“I want to go out for some fresh air,” Laurel said weakly, barely above a whisper. The morning light on her face highlighted her fragility.

She opened her mouth as I offered her a spoonful.

“It’s hot,” she complained, brow furrowing.

“Is it?” I tested a drop on my hand. “Doesn’t seem hot to me.”

“But it feels hot in my mouth,” Laurel pouted. “Try it yourself and you’ll see.”

“Don’t be silly,” I said, tapping her forehead lightly.

“That won’t happen. Just eat,” I said, holding back what I really wanted to say. Her supposed illness made me cautious with
