章節 42: Vol. 2: Aiden to Haru - Chapter 42

Haru

“You okay, Haru?” It was Mason who was asking me that question. Damn, but I guess every one of my brothers noticed me feeling down.

I smiled at him since I didn’t want him to worry about me. “Yeah, I’m fine.”

He nodded. “That’s good.” He signaled for me to come to him. I did, wondering what he wanted.

He asked, “Are you cold?”

“Just a little,” I said. “Is it going to snow again?”

Mason placed his box, which contained his kimonos, on top of mine in my arms and then turned me around. With my back to him, he wrapped his arms around me and rested his chin on the top of my head.

“It’s cold,” he said. “Let’s stay like this for a little bit, until Higa-san brings around the car.”

“Is that where he is?” I asked. “Bringing around the car?”

“Mm-hmm.”

We both were quiet for moment, and then I asked, “Were you worried about me?”

“Mm-hmm,” he responded.

“Thanks,” I said and then chuckled. “I’m being spoiled, aren’t I?”
