I moved slowly towards Fernando, and time stood still as he watched me close the gap between us.
His mouth was skunk hanging open, and he was surprised that the person who had previously refused to be anywhere near him was now willingly and freely making her way towards him.
His heart was racing, and he couldn't wait to see what I was doing in the kitchen to assist him.
Fernando remained motionless!
He finally let out a breath as I got closer to him. "No, you don't have to." Fernando spoke in hushed tones, almost as if he were shy.
Why was he shy?
I pretended not to hear what he was saying as I reached for a mug cup to fill with water.
I placed the water in a kettle on the kitchen gas cooker while Fernando continued to stare at me.
He wasn't blinking his eyes, which was unusual.
