"Yeah.I will." He said blankly.He could feel guilt rising for keeping secrets but,if his mind was safe he was safe.

(SENDING REINFORCEMENTS!!)

"Thank you. Again, i'm sorry for getting upset." She said, sighing with relief. "If you're still okay with me staying over...?" She asked without asking

"yeah,its fine if you come over." Caden replied before sighing and patting Murph.

"See you soon." She said and hung up before grabbing her keys and driving to his house in her car. When she got there, she immedietly went to hug Caden. "I'm so sorry." She said, placing her head to rest on his chest. "I shouldn't have yelled. That was wrong of me."

"It's fine.You should'nt have to carry your blame.Just let it go." Caden announced,still visibly fuming.He pulled away before throwing Murphy's toy which the dog had dropped by Caden's feet.

" 'Kay." She said, hoping her apologies weren't making him more upset. She pulled away, unlocking her phone. "What do you want for dinner?" She asked, opening the Doordash app.

"Anything.Not too hungry." Caden replied blankly again.He kept playing with Murphy,trying to enjoy himself.

"Yeah, me neither." She said, picking fried rice with chicken. She set her phone down and turned to him. "Do you want me to do anything?" She asked, giving him the option before she sat down at the bar

"No." Caden answered.He went upstairs and changed into a pair of shorts,running shoes,and a t-shirt. "Im gonna go run." Caden went out the door and started running.

"Love you too." She muttered as he left. A couple minutes later, she got the food and set it on the bar. She walked upstairs and sat on his bed, leaning against the headboard, watching Tiktoks and waiting for Caden
