It was the next day, almost at eleven in the evening, and Suki was already looking much better.
Her color was returning, the redness in her face depleting, and her breathing was less labored and more even now.
I smiled and set my hand against her forehead. "Fever's gone... this was a quick one, huh?"
She parted her lashes lazily, gazing up at me as I kept the smile. "Will...?"
"That's me," I said then, sitting on the bed, "you're loyal demon."
She just exhaled a breath and gazed around the room nervously. "We're still in the motel?"
"Yes," I said gently, "I bribed him enough to extend our stay for about a week."
"A week?" she echoed in annoyance. "In this shithole?"
I chuckled. "Yes, a week in this shithole."
She groaned in annoyance and flopped back down onto the bed, closing her eyes.
"It seems as if you're feeling better," I said then. "You know, as they say, sleep is the best healer. And... I have a surprise for you."
She gazed over at me.
I just picked up a bowl of freshly warmed chicken noodle soup, and her eyes glittered. "I suspected you'd be hungry."
"Yes," she said then.
I just helped her sit up, knowing she'd probably have sore muscles for a while.
As she set her back against the headboard, I scooped some soup onto a spoon. "Say aahhhhhh."
She didn't, just glared. "What are you doing?"
"Feeding you, duh," I said then, raising the spoon. "Now open your mouth."
Her glare sharpened. "I'm not eating that."
"Oh," I said then, "is it too hot? Here." I phooed it in attempt to annoy her, and she just stared at me in horror. "There, now ahhhhh."
After another moment of hesitation, she just gave in because she was too hungry to resist.
She opened her mouth, and I slipped the spoon in.
She just ate it, chewing a little when I drew back and caught another spoonful.
"Open your mouth when you're ready for more," I said to her.
Her cheeks heated a little, but she opened her mouth anyway.
I gave her more food, and she ate it.
"Is it good?" I asked her. "I got Campbell's, your favorite."
She kept chewing, staring down at my chest. "It's good."
My smile widened.
