T W E N T Y - T H R E E .

The only thing I hated more than rain was the residual feeling from visiting my mom.

It wasn't irritation neither was it tiredness but it was definitely negative energy.

I usually come back to the house after spending two days at a hotel. Don't ask me why. I just didn't want to bring my negativity home.

But I couldn't this time as I had someone to take care of in my home.

I pulled my shoes off and walked to his wing to check on him. Because everything was quite, I assumed he'd be sleeping. If not he'd have been watching MTV or some other music channel.

I peaked into his room and found him on his side, his back to me. He's started changing sleeping sides.

He's starting to get better.

I smile to myself as I started to make a mental note to tell his chef to bake a celebratory cake- or something- for him.

"You never come inside."

His statement stops me from moving. I want to believe it's my imagination but he speaks up again.

"Why don't you ever come inside to check on me?"

The first words on the tip of my mouth is 'Because I'm scared.' But I manage to hold on to them as he speaks up again.

"It's okay. I understand."

For others, that would have been the moment where they explained their reasons, but for me, it signaled a dismissal.

So I walked away, leaving the both of us with different things on our minds.
