One Time Too Many
"Nathaniel… Thank you. I don't know what I would've done without you these past few months."
He smiled and lifted a hand like he wanted to ruffle my hair, but he stopped halfway, suddenly unsure.
I lowered my gaze, uneasy.
I did not know whether he was being good to me because he liked me…or because he was just genuinely kind.
Moreover, I did not know whether I was ready or even able...to trust someone again.
However, Nathaniel simply draped his coat over my shoulders and said softly, "Cassandra, you don't have to thank me. I do all this because I want to. You deserve kindness, just by being who you are."
