He could not fight the thoughts of what she had said to him and he looked to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cForgive me, I had not been told you were unwell these days.\u201d he said to her and he motioned to the book on the counter, \u201cI brought you your book.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>She smiled slowly, certain it was a dream then. \u201cOf course you are forgiven.

Summer reached out a hand toward him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He looked at her and the smile was enough for him to convince himself that she was not herself, perhaps it was the fever that made her so. He stepped forward, as she took his arm, and he nodded as he picked up the book from the table.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you wish.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Summer shifted around until there was space for him to sit on the edge of the narrow bed. One hand crept out to loop over his arm.\u00a0&#8221;Thank you,&#8221; she whispered. She watched Henry pick up the book, watched his mouth shape the words, drowned in his voice until her eyes slipped closed again. &#8220;Love you,&#8221; she sighed, almost inaudible in the edges of sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>the-warrior-king: iamthefirechild: the-warrior-king: iamthefirechild: Summer sensed movement about her, and shortly coolth seeped into the heat of her face.
