MIKO
"baby-"
"I don't want to argue right now, Miko," Jude sighs and then closes his eyes. "I'm tired, I told you this."
I fall silent, my fingers stopping with the massages. Perhaps this isn't the time to present the second gift. "Is this not good?"
"It's good, but I feel awful," he admits. "I wanted you to hold me, not leave me. I guess I am all over the place, and I am sorry I am being a bitch, but …" he sighs as he opens his eyes and looks at the ceiling. "I just feel exhausted."
"It's okay, baby." I won't overwhelm him.
"I am sorry," he says, sitting up and taking my hand. "You are thoughtful. Sweet too, and I am being awful to you. I know you did all of this for me, so thank you. I love it, I promise." Tightening his hold on my hand, he finally looks up at me.
