Nathan brought the meds back and asked me softly, “Have you eaten breakfast yet?”

I froze, silent. He went on, “The doctor says eat something before pills.”

“I haven’t,” I whispered.

“What do you feel like eating? I’ll get it,” Nathan asked, his voice low.

“Just gruel. I need something light,” I said.

“Okay! Wait for me.” Nathan put down the medicine and left.

I watched him–tall, lean, in a black shirt that looked awesome. Plus, he wore a mask outside, giving off a cool, mysterious vibe that made him even more charming.

I just stared for a second, and then my head cleared. I realized the first step to success was to stop being such a fangirl. I had to see people for who they were, not as idols.

I thought both men and women could fake being loving and gentle. So, no one got much real love to give. Since we were not love gurus, there was no need to make romance sound so big.

While I was spacing out, Nathan came back. “Eat while it’s hot. I got you some snacks too.” He sat by me and laid everything

out.

My right hand had an IV, so I had to use my left. It was awkward. On the first bite, I almost spilled it on my chin. I felt so silly and mumbled, “My hand is a bit shaky.”

Nathan got it right away. As I reached for the second bite, he took my spoon and fed me himself.

I froze.
