I knew the blood was already hidden. I would have to be careful with that when I lived with Nicole. Maybe build a fridge into my closet floor? I’d have to see the layout of the new place. It would be a pain to move, but I would be much, much closer to the hospital. Right now I had to take two buses to get there. I went in the limo with Brian while Nicole went with my family. I really wanted some alone time with him. As soon as the limo pulled away, I turned to Brian. “I can’t thank you enough for the present. I love it so much, Brian. So, you paid off Nicole’s student loans?” “Yes, I did,” he hedged, waiting to see what I would say. “Thank you.” “Thank you?” he repeated, eyebrows raised. He looked me over as if trying to figure out if I was a Kelly clone or something. “Yes, thank you for doing that for her.” “So, not wanting to start a fight, but I am confused. Why did I get yelled at when I paid off your student loans, but not when I paid off Nicole’s?”
