There was a sense of a forced smile on Cade’s lips as he helped Anna out of the car. It was easy to put some things together. He hadn’t moved away from her touch, but was uncertain of if he liked it. Or maybe he had liked it, but was uncertain of how he should feel about it. Cade was probably feeling confused about things. It hadn’t been so long since he had lost his wife and child. It had to be difficult for him.
They headed in and the agent was giving the tour along with information about the building and community. Would be a nice place to live. This unit was more colorful than the last one and that always interested Anna more. She liked color. This one seemed less sterile.
But then the agent said it would be a good starter apartment for a couple. Cade’s response wasn’t unexpected, but it came out a little harsher than maybe even he didn’t intend. They were then left alone to explore the place and talk.
Anna had been thinking about what to say to him since they had left the car. Mostly she wanted to show him she cared. That even if she had a crush (which he knew about) their friendship was more important to her. She had so much she could say, but she didn’t want to upset him more or make him uncomfortable.
She looked around the room, gathering her thoughts before just saying in a concerned tone. ”You okay?”
