Her hair was piled on her head in a messy bun. He missed touching it. Smelling it. Missed seeing her smile and kissing her lips. He missed her. “I wanted to make sure you were okay.”

“I’m fine.” She continued drying a bowl and placed it upside on a towel.

“You were in the hospital.”

Her body stilled. “Who told you that?”

“Nick.”

She sighed and he felt her unease from across the quiet room, saw her shoulders drop. She hadn’t wanted him to know. She finished her task, set a dried glass on the counter, and unplugged the sink to drain. When she turned around he was hit hard, as always. So beautiful, delicate almost, but her eyes met his, bold and brave. “I had an anxiety attack. It passed and now I’m fine.”

So bad she had to go to the hospital? And fine? The shadows under her eyes said something different. “I don’t know what to say. No.” He blew out a shaky breath and scrubbed both hands over his face. “That’s not true. I know a lot of things to say and none of them are right. None of them are enough.”

“You don’t have to say anything.”

“Yes. I do. I just…” He shook his head, searching for the right words. When he looked up, saw the hurt in her eyes even through the layers she’d tried to pull over it, he gave up on words. He crossed the room, took her face in his hands because he couldn’t be in the same room with her and not touch her.

He brushed his thumbs over the bruises under her eyes. Their eyes held, faces just inches apart. “You look tired.”
