True Love Waits

"Take your medicine first." Evelyn took a disposable cup to get him some hot water.

"Okay." When she wasn't looking, Sheffield threw the medicine away and replaced it with vitamin C tablets. Evelyn didn't give him the cup of water. She took it into the bedroom and said to him, "Come in and lie down." Sheffield followed her into the bedroom and lay on the bed.

"Where's the medicine?" she asked.

"Here it is." Then he took the pills.

Evelyn had no time to stop him from taking the pills. "Why were you in such a hurry? The water is still too hot!"

However, he managed to down the pills even without chasing them down with water.

Evelyn was on the brink of a meltdown. She went out and poured some cold water into the cup until the water was warm. "Drink this so you can wash the pills down." "Okay." He obediently drank the entire cup.

Satisfied, Evelyn threw the empty cup into the trash can and made him lie down on the bed. "You should sleep."

"Okay." He closed his eyes as if he was sleepy.

When she turned around to take a shower, he grabbed her hand.

"Evelyn, don't go. I'm not feeling well," he said weakly.

"I'm not leaving. I'm going to take a shower." She sat beside the bed and comforted him softly.

"No shower, Evelyn. I want to sleep with you in my arms." He wouldn't let go of her.

I hope I can be like my mom so that I can do whatever I want at will. For example, whenever she's at home, she just casually lies on the sofa not caring what anyone's thinking of her. She doesn't pay attention to her posture or what others think or say about her. She eats to her heart's content. She's not afraid to run around and scream at the top of her voice if she's happy.
