Hunted (Talented Saga # 3)
“I’d ordered us lamb steaks and broccoli casserole to my room. Erik sat pushing his food around on his plate, only eating small bites. His injuries magnified against pale and fatigued features.
“How do you feel?” I asked, concerned by his melancholy mood.
“Huh?” he asked, so lost in thought, he seemed to have forgotten I was there.
“How do you feel?” I enunciated my words this time.
“Fine,” he lied, offering me one of his beautiful smiles.
“You’re a liar,” I teased. Something was bothering him. Well, a lot of stuff was bothering him, but something that he didn’t want me to know about. If I delved into his mind, I could figure out his source of unease, but I wanted him to tell me himself.
“Just tired,” he mumbled.
We ate the rest of our meal in silence. While I ate, Erik just played with his food.
