Parker
Do you have your weighted blanket?
I glance around the living room to see if it’s here so I can bring it to him, but he quickly replies.
Reid
Yeah, it’s helping
Parker
is there anything I can do to help?
Reid
You don’t have to
Parker
I know I don’t have to but I want to
Do you want some coffee?Or how about some hot chocolate?
Reid
You made me coffee
Technically, I did make him coffee before he got home.But I finished the pot off half an hour ago since I figured he would be in his room for the night, and I don’t want to point it out and make him feel bad.
Parker
Or I could make you some cocoa.I could kind of go for some cocoa right now actually
Reid
No, I mean before I got home.You said my coffee was in the kitchen but I didn’t process it at the time.I’m so sorry
Parker
Don’t even worry about it
Reid
But I didn’t say thank you.Or even acknowledge it.
Parker
It’s okay, really.I ended up drinking it myself, so it’s not like it went to waste
Reid
I just don’t want you to think I don’t appreciate you because I do
For the first time in about two hours, I feel my chest loosen.He may claim that he ends up saying the wrong thing more often than not, but he somehow always ends up saying exactly what I need to hear, even if I don’t know I need it.I smile as I type my response.
Parker
I know you do
