Chapter 92

I eyed the contents of the refrigerator. I wasn’t in the mood to

prepare anything extravagant. My eyes landed on a can of

tomato soup. That would have to do.

I grabbed it, ripped it open and dumped it into a pot. Steam rose

in an instant, and I stirred as the smell of tomatoes and herbs

filled the air. The scent was so overwhelming, that I had to step

out of the kitchen for a bit to get some fresh air.

When I rounded the corner, I saw Alexander coming through

the living room, bringing the scent of the ointment with him.

“Oh… you want to eat in here?”

He didn’t even look at me. We walked casually and settled into

one of the chairs at the dining table. “Kitchen, Olivia.”

I turned on my heel and stomped back to the kitchen.


Alexander just proved everything I’d been thinking about

earlier. Why did he always have to talk to me like that? I turned

off the stove, ladled the soup into a bowl and grabbed a spoon.

I stomped back into the dining room and dumped the plate right

in front of him.
