StarNovelSelena just couldn't wrap her head around it. In the past, whenever she was sick and begged him to ccheck on her, he would flat-out ignore her. And now, even after everything she laid out there, he hadn't slammed the door and stormed off. Instead, he just hung around. She watched him with his lips pressed into a tight line and suddenly had a thought. She spoke slowly, "Do you suddenly have this weird fixation onbecause I'm not chasing after you anymore?" The more she thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense. Men are strange creatures. When you chase them, they act indifferent, but the minute you stop, they can't handle it.

She was momentarily surprised.
Everett set the tray on the nightstand, leaned down, wrapped an arm around her shoulders and another under her knees, and lifted her back onto the bed. Seeing her tear-streaked face, he grabbed a tissue and wiped her face. He's not gentle, but not exactly rough, either.
"What are you, a three-year-old?" Selena rolled her eyes, dodging his hand, and grabbed a tissue herself to wipe her tears and blow her nose, her voice still hoarse from crying. "I thought you left?"
