“I don’t want you going outside. It looks like it might rain.”
It did?
She glanced out the window. Sure, it looked a bit bleak, but it wasn’t raining.
“That’s an order.”
Faith saluted him as he turned away.
“I saw that!”
Her mouth dropped open. There was no way! He couldn’t have.
Sheesh.
Heading downstairs, she held onto the elevator rail tightly. She’d worked here for nine weeks now and she still struggled with the elevator.
Faith ordered the food from Lou, grateful that she didn’t have any weird concoctions to test on Faith this morning.
Then she headed back upstairs and took Reuben’s food in to him.
“Come and sit with me, Ms. Blossom.”
She stilled in surprise as he got up and walked to the sofa, gesturing to her.
Ever since her run in with Kirsten, things between them had been slightly off.
Sometimes, she caught him staring at her strangely as though he couldn’t quite work her out.
Faith didn’t know what was going on.
“I, um, I was just going to eat at my desk.”
“That’s not good for your digestion. Get your water bottle and sit. I want to make sure you eat and drink.”
Knowing he wasn’t going to take no for an answer, she sat on the other end of the sofa from him. Unwrapping her sandwich, she took a bite and then wrinkled her nose.
“What’s wrong?”
She opened up the sandwich. “Ick. Mustard.”
“You didn’t ask them to not add mustard?” he asked.
“I did. They must have forgot.” Or Lou was too busy talking to her to notice.
Reuben stood. “Come on.”
“Where are we going?” she asked as she wrapped the sandwich up and stood.
“To get them to make you another sandwich.”
“Oh, that’s not necessary.”
He shot her a look.
Okay. They were going downstairs to get a new sandwich.
As they stood waiting for the elevator, she shuffled her weight from foot to foot.
