“You don’t mind do you?â€? a smug look had formed on his face, as if he knew I was planning to put my feet up.
With a big sigh, I acted as if nothing was bothering me. “Why would I care?â€?
“No reason just thought maybe you wanted to take a nap or relax before Annie got back.â€?
Remembering my non-answered question from before, I decided to ask again “Where’d Annie go?â€? Starting to lose hope of getting an answer, I was surprised when he told me.
“She went to the grocery store. Wants to make us a good dinner I guess.â€?
“Why couldn’t you have told me that earlier?â€?
“Because you might’ve run away and I wanted you to stay!â€?
Now puzzled I began to stumble over my words. “Why would you want me to stay?â€?
“No reason, I’m just new here, it’s nice to meet people and find new friends.â€?
