Tobias didn't argue with her.
Madelyn was asleep upstairs, and they didn't want to wake her up to prepare a late-night meal for them.
He had made supper while she was showering, and the pasta was leftover from today's breakfast.
Skylar had prepared the pasta and sauce separately, so Tobias only needed to reheat them.
He had also fixed a simple salad dish from whatever he could find in the refrigerator.
“Your fever hasn't gone down,” Skylar stated as soon as Tobias sat down. “You'll need another shot at the hospital tomorrow. Does the wound still hurt?”
Tobias looked up to see her looking at him with a concerned expression.
“I'm fine. Don't worry about me. You should look after yourself. The weather has been too cold lately. Remember to dress warmly before heading out.”
The chill in the air was now permeating her very bones. Even the hot food couldn't prevent the iciness from creeping over her.
She took several more mouthfuls before saying, “Will you be honest with me? Does whatever's going on at Harbourside have something to do with me? I understand that my keeping the old manor has created troubles for you, and it's not worth it.”
Tobias was reluctant to lie to Skylar. He didn't want her to believe it was her fault.
