[color=#006400]”It might…but it could be a mental or emotional hurt more than physical,”[/color] I said. I take Nero’s left hand and place it on my chest. [color=#006400]”We can figure it out together. One at a time.”[/color] I place my hands on Nero’s cheeks, rubbing their skin lightly with my thumbs. [color=#006400]”Let me take you home. We have enough alcohol. I can get you drunk all over again if you want.”[/color]

I mask my amusement at Kimiko having to count backwards from ten. Apparently, I’m pissing her off as much as she is me. Good. Once she’s done, she shouts over the music, and I roll my eyes. If she talked normally, I would still hear her. I slow the car down and turn to find some fast food joint for her. It’s not like there isn’t any food at Caden’s, but whatever, I’ll play chauffeur for the little fox.

I giggle and shake my head. [color=#DB7093][i]Only if you promised to care for my plants.[/i][/color] I send some plant emojis before I toss my phone onto my bed and go into the bathroom.

I can hear the cats running all over the place while scrubbing my face. The sound is soothing, but it isn’t responsible for my smile. I see Nero's smile whenever I close my eyes to wash my face. I can still hear his laugh and feel his touch. I even feel his lips on mine. I switch the tap water to cold and splash my face several more times.
