I put everything away and head outside. "Hey." Tess gives me a smile as I smile back and kiss her gently. Then I kiss Ava on the top of the head and sit down in a chair across from them. "How was it out?" She asks. I rub the back of my neck and nod. "It was alright." I shrug. She gives me a look and sets down her phone. "What's going on?" "It's nothing, I just don't feel too good." I lie as I look down at the ground and Jackson, one of our dogs comes up to me. I scratch him behind his ear as I feel Tessa's gaze still on me. "What aren't you telling me?" She asks.
