Suddenly, Raegan’s cheeks turned even redder. He was being so forward!
Mitchel went on, “Had you ever used that word with me before, you wouldn’t have managed to leave the bed for a week.”
Fuming yet embarrassed, Raegan threatened, “Keep it up, and I’m out of here…”
As she tried to put the bowl down, Mitchel quickly caught her wrist.
“I want more.”
Then he took another spoonful from her hand, a gesture that felt both casual and close.
Raegan pulled her hand back, feeling awkward. “This isn’t working for me.”
“Whatever works for you.” Mitchel’s mood lightened all of a sudden.
His voice, no longer cold but deep and enticing.
Raegan, feeling her cheeks heat up, finished feeding him the whole bowl and then suggested, “Try to eat less. Your stomach isn’t completely healed yet.”
Her words brought a smile to Mitchel’s face. She was caring for him!
ALL of his irritation disappeared in an instant. He grinned happily and said, “Seeing how you’re worried about me, I’ll let it go.”
Raegan was at a loss for words. She hadn’t even brought up that it was all on Matteo’s instructions. And Mitchel had already shifted from frustration to light-hearted.
Raegan corrected him, “Who said I was worried about you? Matteo told me to do so.”
Mitchel chuckled. “Sure, Matteo told you, but you could’ve stayed silent. Just like when I was really sick, you could’ve made up excuses not to show up, but here you are, speaking out and being here.”

d, his allure seemed even stronger.
He playfully challenged, “Doesn’t that show you care for me?”
His reasoning was straightforward and convincing. Raegan couldn’t come up with a rebuttal. Thinking it over, she wondered whether she began to care for him.
Raegan wrestled with her thoughts, feeling an inner turmoil. She questioned her own resolve, puzzled over her lingering affection for Mitchel despite her lost memories. Her frustration with herself was palpable.
Angrily, Raegan asserted, “I’m not just making excuses. I’ve been genuinely swamped.”
Mitchel’s gaze pierced her as he inquired, “And what about the day before yesterday? Were you swamped then too?”
Caught off guard, Raegan felt exposed, as if her privacy had been breached. She wondered if his words hinted at a knowledge of her actions, a suggestion that he knew she had been free yet chose to stay away.
With a tone of displeasure, Raegan queried, “Have you been spying on me?”
Mitchel openly admitted, “I wanted to understand what you were up to, so I had Matteo look into it.”
