Love Like This

Chapter 94

"They've never met you, but they knew I wasn't out as much as I usually am and David's mother let them know I was taking care of an ill friend. They've been giving me so much help I'm almost overwhelmed with saying thank you so much."

Her voice was but a whisper when she said, "Thank you cards."

He snapped his fingers. "That's a good idea." A wink for her in thanks for her great idea.

They ate and he talked non stop throughout it about everything from Nanna's condition to who Parker Mills was. Nanna was getting worse, but holding on. What they were telling her about Nicole's whereabouts were unknown to anyone.

Parker Mills had offices out in Southfield and as soon as she was well she could contact him for a meeting.

Again she thanked him and he told her to quit that. It was no problem.

Nicole looked away seeing the look of concern in his eyes. Why he'd offered his hand of friendship out this way was a mystery to her, but she intended to get down to the bottom of it. When they were done eating, he took the dishes away, and then brought in a toothbrush, with rinse and a bowl. After she brushed her teeth, he asked if she needed anything else. She pretended tiredness and he left her so she could rest. When he thought she was asleep he came back in and sat down beside her to stare at her.
