Chapter 72: Movie Night

Sly kept on glancing at me as we ate. And that made me self-conscious.

"Is there anything on my face?" I touched my face to make sure there is nothing on it.

"Nothing," Sly nodded at the food. "Aren't.they to your liking? You don't want it?"

"No." I force a smile, "they are good. It's just that I don't feel hungry at all." I touch my stomach, "I'm full."

I'm full of thoughts about the step monster's threats.

"What did you eat this afternoon?"

"Marli ordered pizza. And I ate the cookies."

"How was—" He coughed, "how were the cookies?"

"It was good. I never knew you can bake. The cookie was more crispy than the ones Marli normally bakes."

"Well, thank you. I'm glad you like it."

"Like it? I love it!"

Talking of the delicious cookies made me forget my worries about the step monster and her threats.

"I'm glad you do." He took a bite from the chicken before he raised his head, to look at me.
