You step out of the car, he parked in front of the garden.
"Have you had anything to eat yet?" He asks.
"Not yet" you say, following him to the front door.
"I'll cook you something" he says, opening the door. He walks off into the kitchen and puts the car keys on the counter, slipping his coat off.
You shut the door gently behind you.
You look around, taking in the smell of old house.
He walks past you and over into his office.
"Follow me"
You slip off your shoes and follow behind him into his office.
"Firstly has everything healed?" He starts, sitting himself down in his chair. He adjusts himself, watching you as you begin to answer.
You nod.
"Do you mind if I have a look?" He inquires.
You nod, slowly standing.
"Just come and stand in front of me" he nods.
You hesitantly walk to him, standing in front of him.
He pushes to chair back in order to make room to lean forward. He looks at your scars from the glass.
"Good" he whispers to himself. You offer your hand.
He nods, noticing it also healed.
"What about your rib" he leans back, putting a finger over his mouth in thought.
"uhm" you quietly hum.
You lift up your t-shirt slightly to show the bruising.
His face drops slightly.
"Oh my" he says, leaning forward and placing his hands on your sides.
You shiver, he was ice cold.
"You're so cold" you whisper, your body in slight shock of how cold your sides had gone.
"Sorry" he smiles, letting out a small chuckle.
He traces the marks making you jolt.
"Sorry, sorry" he whispers calmly.
You hold his shoulders as leans in further to examine it.
He shakes his head, his fingers trace your sides as he pulls them away.
You go and sit back down across the desk from him. "They seem to have healed well" he smiles, leaning on the desk.
