I freeze, peeking over my menu slowly to look at Caden. [color=#9B111E][i]“Mach mich nicht nervös.”[/i][/color] I retort with a playful glare. I try to find his leg with mine for a small kick, but the toe of my shoe only grazes him. I shrink in my seat, feeling defeated.

[color=#9B111E][i]“Dumme kurze Beine.”[/i][/color] I mumble to myself.

I flop back over onto my back, smiling still as I read the latest message. I pop some more snacks into my mouth before I type my reply. [i][color=F0A06B]Exactly, here I am trying to avoid your cursing, so I definitely won’t go to anyone else. Let me know what days work best for a hike for you though :)[/color][/i] 


I’m enjoying the conversation with her, it helps distract me from everything else going on. I take another peek towards my dad as he sleeps. His brow is wrinkled just slightly, but otherwise he looks calm. I quietly hope that this calmness stays with him for a while longer.
