Dying woman? He just said dying, right?
"What do you mean, dying woman?"
I asked as I swallowed a lump in my throat.
It wasn't like I didn't notice. I'd noticed, I'd definitely noticed, but I brushed it off. Every single time, I brushed it off, I told myself that she was just tired, that it would pass.
That she'd be back to her normal self in no time. I knew that she never missed a day in the shop, I knew that and yet, I closed my eyes to everything that was going on.
I walked slowly to the kitchen where Cassidy was still making our dinner. She never missed a meal, she always cooked for me.
Always.
"Is it true?" I asked, my voice was barely above a whisper but she heard me. She looked up at me with that same exhausted face but this time it was mixed with confusion.
"Are you okay?" she asked me. "Want to sit down?"
Her voice. It was so hoarse. Anyone could tell, it was so obvious. It was so obvious that she wasn't well. So why? Why?
