Chapter 26
Patrick parked the car and got out with the food in hand. He walked up to the door and unlocked the door. He walked inside and headed to the kitchen and set the food down on the table. He then went in search of Jessica. He found her in the bathroom. Patrick knelt beside the tub and started touching her. She looked at him.
"Feeling better." Patrick asked.
"Much better." Jessica answered.
"I brought home dinner so you might want to get out and dry off." Patrick said.
Patrick left the bathroom and headed into the kitchen. Jessica got out of the tub and dried off and the put on her pajamas. She walked out of the bathroom and headed into the kitchen. She sat down at the table and Patrick handed her some food and she began to eat.
"Did you have fun?" Jessica asked.
"It was okay." Patrick answered.
"What did you guys do?" Jessica asked.
"Just hung out." Patrick answered.
They continued to eat in silence. Jessica finished first and she got up to throw her trash away. She then headed to the living room and sat down on the couch. Patrick finished not to long after and walked into the living room and sat down beside her.
"Are you okay?" Patrick asked.
"Yeah." Jessica answered.
Patrick hated lying to her and pretending things were fine. But he had to do it. He wanted what he was plannin' to be a secret.
