I turn off the music in the car as Cass’s head loll to the side. After eating that much, it’s no wonder he’s tired. He even eats food he’s never liked before, because as he mentioned, he can’t afford to be picky. Just that line alone made my heart clench for him.

I look over to him and smile a little. He looks adorable sleeping like that. I reach for my phone in the cup holder only to remember the little fox toss it out the window. That too makes me smile. He’s becoming so daring. With him trying to pay for the meal too. He’s reverting to the Cass I knew in the old days.

I still can’t believe Cass tossed my phone, but I can’t blame him since I did the same. I admit I was burning with jealousy even though I didn’t voice it. I don’t know what they talked about but frankly I don’t care. I just didn’t want to hear it anymore. I had to hold myself back from doing more. What I really wanted to do was stop the car on the side of the road and punish him. I should have. That phone had many of my work contacts in there and important documents saved.

Cass shifts in his sleep and mumbles something. I steal another glance at him before taking his hand in mine and intertwining our fingers. He unconsciously grips my hand tighter making my heart race. I sigh, almost feeling content with the warm feeling spreading in my veins.

I’ll probably never have the chance to hold you like this when you’re awake. I thought to myself. Because once he wakes, our own storm continues to rage on.

This, this is enough, I tell myself. I clutch his hand tighter in mine and continue to drive in silence, just listening to the sound of the rain and the soft breathing coming from the angel beside me.

After an hour of driving through nearly a damn forest and up a mountain, we arrive at a little hidden restaurant that has a great view of the valley and city below. When the hell did my mother eat somewhere like this?

Cass stirs beside me, and I quickly let go of his hand, placing mine back on the steering wheel. Already, I’m missing the feel of his warmth.

“Are we here?” He yawns and slowly stretches his small body.

“Yeah, we are.” I say, reverting back to my original self.

Cass looks down at his hand with his brow scrunch. “It must had been hot, my palm is sweating.”

I look out the windshield like I’m none the wiser.

“Where are we?” He finally looks out the window. If it was any other sunny day, this view would have been a breathtaking one. Instead, the rain is pouring hard, and the sky is dark.

“Hurry up and go get the stir-fry so we can leave.” I shoo with a hand.

“You’re not coming in with me?” Cass gives me a quizzical look.

“Why would I? It doesn’t take two people to order one dish.
