“Are you feeding the three of us or a whole football team?” Erin laughed, which made her go into a coughing fit as well.

Blair shrugged. “I wasn’t sure what you’d want. I figured if I got enough, there’d have to be something you like. And this way, you can have some leftovers to eat later.”

Erin’s heart was bursting. She was pretty sure there wasn’t a better person in this world than Blair Breckenridge. Now, if only she could convince her own heart that it was safe with Blair, even though her head was telling her that Blair had the ability to hurt her more than anyone else ever had. That thought made her pounding headache even worse. She absentmindedly brought her hand to her head and rubbed her temples as if that was actually going to make a difference.

“When was the last time you took medicine?” Blair asked, her voice laced with concern.

Welp, it turned out food wasn’t the only thing Erin forgot. She gave Blair her most innocent smile. “Oops.”

“Where is your medicine? I’ll grab it and then get your food ready for you. Let me guess.” Blair tapped her chin and looked toward the ceiling. “Broccoli and cheddar, right?”

How the hell did she do that? “Okay, that’s just freaky.”

“Or maybe,” Blair leaned in and kissed Erin’s nose. “I just know you.”

It had been a long time since someone really knew Erin, and that fact had her fighting back tears. Correction… the tears were coming, and now that they started, she couldn’t stop them from falling.

Blair brought her hands to Erin’s cheeks and placed more kisses across her forehead. “Baby, what’s wrong? Are you getting worse? Do you need something else? Name it and I’ll get it for you. The sky's the limit. Seriously.”

Her sweet words only made Erin cry harder. Holy shit, I’m a mess. No one should have to deal with this. “I’m sorry. I’m not crying because I’m sad or in pain. Being sick is just messing with my emotions and you’re being so sweet right now, and no one is ever this sweet to me, and I don’t know. I guess I’m just surprised and overwhelmed.”

Blair placed another kiss on Erin’s forehead. “Get used to it. I care about you, which means I’ll take care of you. Always. In every way. No matter what.”
