“Don’t say that. You don’t owe me anything.” I shook my head.

My dad was about to go on a business trip, so he dropped by to check on my mom. Bonnie’s actions and words earlier had weighed heavily on him. He was frowning the whole time.

“If only one meal could restore all the weight I’ve lost,” I sighed, letting Russel lead me.

I blushed, realizing I might have been a bit unreasonable.
