As Henry and I work up on the rooftop beginning the project, I notice he's acting strange, and I can't quite put my finger on the reason why,
I don't want to push him into telling me or make him think he's obligated to tell me his problems, but it makes me nervous that he's keeping something from me that can be fixed,
What if more people are talking about him?
What if he secretly hates this job?
I don't want to force him into telling me what is going on with him but I'm worried, what if people are talking crap about him again and he doesn't want to say anything to be a bother or something?
I decided to ask him after we finish up here for today

I exhale the breath I was holding in after we finished doing some rough patching jobs and priming the wall in the entryway that I will be painting later, we also put the bonfire and all the furniture that arrived a bit ago in a storage room for the time being while the bar is being built and painting will be happening,
Henry was working on measurements and everything necessary he needs to do before actually building the bar and custom seating area
"Okay I think that's all for today" I sigh turning to henry
"Okay great I will see you tomorrow then" he smiles but I notice it doesn't quite reach his eyes, he stands nervously not meeting my full gaze
And that's where I get nervous, he's always happy and even with everything he's been through he's kept a smile on his face
"Hey, are you okay henry?" I ask cautiously
"Yep I'm great" he nods not making eye contact with me
I immediately know he's lying
"Are you sure? you've been acting strange today" I sigh
"Don't you worry about me it's nothing" he gives me a small smile
"Are people talking bad about you? Because I can go to Aaron, I don't want you feeling uncomfortable working here" I ask hesitantly
"No it's not that don't worry" he laughs nervously
"Are you sure?" I ask giving him the chance to tell me the truth
"Yes, no one has been talking bad about me don't you worry," he says bringing me into a hug
I decide not to push him and say my goodbyes and head to Aaron's office
