Chapter 143 Pangs Of The Heart

The doubts about Charles and I that took root in my heart killed off my appetite. But Theo had gone through the trouble of fixing a meal just for me. I forced down a few bites of what I’m sure would have been a delicious meal under other circumstances, but I still just couldn’t muster up an appetite. When I’d eaten enough to not feel completely guilty for wasting his time and food, I stood. “Thanks for lunch, Theo. It was delicious. Someday, you’re going to have a very lucky wife. But I think I’m going to go work on my story. I’ll take my laptop and sit on the bed so you can do what you want out here.”
