There was no room for her to argue as they rushed toward his apartment. The moment they stepped through the door, Grant dropped her bag on the floor and showed her toward the shower.
“Wait here,” he said.
Aria wrapped her arms around herself. There was a mirror to her side and she caught sight of her stomach. She quickly turned her back, but not before trying to suck in her stomach. It didn’t matter what she did, she’d always be too big.
Grant returned holding a pair of sweatpants and a large shirt.
“I’ll get dinner ready.”
“Grant, make sure it’s…”
“Don’t,” he said.
She licked her lips. “This is important to me.”
He stared at her and shook his head. “I’ll cook you something, and stop panicking.” He stepped out of the bathroom and Aria sighed.
He was the only person who didn’t complain about her weight. Who didn’t make her feel like a failure for not being stick-thin.
She took a quick shower, not wanting Grant to wait for her, being cautious of the amount of hot water she consumed. Cleaning up after a workout felt so good. Her hair was no longer slick with sweat. She dried her hair on the towel as best she could.
Changing into the clothes he’d brought for her, she was thankful they had fit, and within ten minutes she stepped out of the bathroom.
The scents of onion and garlic filled the air. She walked into the kitchen to find Grant once again cooking.
“Don’t say a word,” he said.
Aria chuckled.
Wanda came over to say hello.
“I called Bull. I’m heading over to the clubhouse tomorrow to meet the two dogs.”
“I’ll be coming with you.”
“Bull said that. It was kind of a surprise that he told me what you were doing. He’s your brother, right?”
“Yep.”
“Are you two close?”
“Sometimes.”
Aria chuckled. “I’m not too close with my sister either. I don’t know if that’s because we don’t get along or because my mom was always taking her out.”
“Your mom sounds like a bitch,” Grant said.
Aria smiled and then nibbled her lip. Grant had walked toward her and pointed the knife at her. “I know that face. You want something?”
“Yeah and no.” She pursed her lips.”
“Now I’m intrigued.”
Aria rolled her eyes. “My mom called me today and has ordered me to go to Thanksgiving dinner. My sister’s husband has arranged for it to be at a fancy restaurant.”
“You’ve been ordered to go?”
“Yes.”
