My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Hendrix returned very late that night. After lan took Anne away, I laid down for a long time but didn't manage to fall asleep. When he came back, it was already dawn. Seeing that I had not yet slept, he frowned and asked, "Not sleeping yet?"

"I'm about to," I responded.

He murmured his assent and then told me, "Turn the lights off and sleep soon!" He walked to my side before he gently kissed me on my forehead.

Then, he whispered, "I need to leave for a trip. I might need to go to Mesville, and would only be back tomorrow afternoon. Get some sleep and when Minnie comes, let her know what you'd like to eat. Rest, okay? Don't stay up, or else I'm dragging you to the hospital as soon as I'm back."

"What's wrong?" I asked. "It's already so late, so why do you still have to go to Mesville?"

He stroked my hair and explained, "I've got something small to deal with, I'll only be there for a while."

I knitted my brows. Usually, he would not inform me personally if it was regarding something that wasn't serious. Instead, he would only send me a message which meant that whatever he had to handle was likely serious, since he even came home to personally tell me about it.

I pulled at his sleeve before I questioned him, "What's going on?"

He laughed and kissed me on the forehead. "You really can't bear to leave me, can you? Are you going to give me a farewell gift?"

I was speechless.
