1. More questions

We didn’t talk after that. Lunch was downright awkward as we both ate silently. My mind was

Rowan is coming to my appointments.

“I just want to be there, is that so hard for you to believe?”

“As a matter of fact, yes. Let’s be honest, Rowan. You’ve never cared much for me.” I sigh. “That’s

actually an understatement because you downright hated me so of course this sudden show of

concern is unbelievable”

He doesn’t say anything for a while. Just continues staring at me in that intense way. When he continues to do it, I start fidgeting. Feeling uncomfortable with his piercing eyes directed at me.
