She murmured something that might have been 'of course not' and was terribly glad that she didn't blush the same way she used to in the past, because that would have been a dead giveaway of the guilt she suddenly had to wrestle.

Maybe he's growing tired of having me stare at him while he works."

Only wake each morning to
remember that you're gone
remember that you're gone
