The first thing Louisa did when she finally got home was lay down on the bed. Don't judge her for that. After all, Louisa was still under the influence of the drug she had taken on the way home. And Henry, he helped to be able to tidy up the groceries that Louisa had bought before, into the refrigerator. His body felt very tired and stiff as well, considering he hadn't exercised at all since coming to Louisa's house. He was the one who was too busy to serve Louisa and could make her feel good. Of course. But when Henry realized that Louisa had fallen asleep, without cleaning herself first, Henry decided to exercise for a while in the backyard. At least he has a barbell and a jump rope to help him exercise. After taking the two objects, Henry immediately walked towards the backyard. It didn't matter how late it was, Henry started to take off the shirt he was wearing and put it right on the park bench that was there, and started doing a little stretch for his body. In the room, Louisa had just moved her body a little and suddenly woke up, when she felt the pain from the pressure on her right shoulder. "Oh my God! Aww... dammit," Louisa mumbled a little cursed. She directly rubbed slowly and faintly her right shoulder there with a faint movement. The frown on her forehead deepened. She tried to stretch her shoulder which felt very sore and sore. Even Louisa could no longer describe the pain she was currently feeling. Louisa sighed slowly, and began to turn her gaze to look at the alarm clock. 'It's seven o'clock at night… what should I do now? How about tomorrow I go to Tomkins House? I can't always be at home doing nothing. Plus, I also got to talk to the chairman at Tomkins House about working with the Caldor Styles company. I already said no, but I still need to get advice from all of them… and again, I have to discuss all this with Lenore." After that, Louisa got up from the bed and walked closer to the balcony of her room. And Louisa also saw Henry who was exercising with his back to her. Louisa was silent with her eyes looking tired and wistful. There was something different about her, although Louisa herself still couldn't understand everything properly. But Louisa noticed that her heartbeat was starting to beat faster as her eyes moved wildly to stare at the muscles in Henry's body that were shining with sweat. And Louisa immediately closed her eyes, then turned back into her room. The palm of her left hand touched her chest which was still beating quite fast. Her eyes fluttered wildly, she had never felt this way before. Not. No way... I can't feel any of these things. This feels very stifling and very foreign to me. Like I'm not myself. Louisa thought, feeling very worried. Louisa turned her head to stare out the balcony, she still wanted to see Henry, it just seemed like the ego had overtaken itself. Until finally, Louisa took a step away and started to enter the bathroom. *** Henry had just finished cleaning himself and dressed in casual clothes, before finally starting to prepare dinner for himself and Louisa as well. But his mind couldn't stop thinking about Louisa, who had not been out of the room for a second since they came home from the hospital. 'I wonder… is Miss Louisa awake now?" Henry muttered as he put down the simple meal he was cooking. His eyes kept staring at the second floor, hoping anxiously, if Louisa would come out of the room or at least need help from him. In any case, it won't be a problem for Henry. But before confirming, Henry returned to focus on preparing dessert and drinks. Less than thirty minutes, Henry had finished preparing all these things and arranged them right on the dining table. Then moved hastily to be able to take off the apron she was wearing, and walked quickly up the stairs to Louisa's room. Click Henry was surprised by Louisa's bedroom door which suddenly opened when he got there. "Eh, Miss are you awake?" asked Henry at once. "Yeah, earlier... I've also cleaned myself up," answered Louisa without looking at Henry. Louisa lowered her head slightly, because if she looked at Henry, Louisa was not at all sure if she could hide her blushing face. As for Henry, he just gave a confused look. "Um, fine then. Come on Miss, let's go down and have dinner together. I already cooked the food," Henry explained with a smile on his face. Louisa nodded her head, then walked first. Stepping slowly and carefully. While Henry was right behind Louisa, he looked so worried for Louisa. And couldn't take his eyes off Louisa's feet at all when she stepped there. When they finally arrived at the dining table, Henry swiftly prepared the chair Louisa would sit on, and the food to eat. Louisa didn't say much at the moment. She still felt nervous and awkward when she was around Henry like this. Even though she didn't really understand it either. Louisa's eyes stared at the food Henry had prepared on her plate. I won't be able to eat with my left hand. I am not left-handed and am not used to activities using my left hand. What's more, my right hand still can't move freely. Louisa thought. Louisa thought for a long time until she was surprised by the outstretched hand holding the fork containing a piece of meat right in front of her. Louisa immediately turned her head, and looked at Henry there. Louisa rolled her eyes, feeling confused and surprised. "Come on, eat Miss..." said Henry as if he knew what was going on in Louisa's mind right now. 'B-but..." Louisa tried to refuse. Henry shook his head with his expression serious and firm at the same time. 'No buts, Miss. Now, I will feed Miss to eat." Louisa was silent for a moment while looking at Henry, before finally sighing. Then opened her mouth and ate the bite Henry gave her. That's when Henry immediately showed a wide smile. Henry kept feeding Louisa and taking turns eating for himself. Henry felt a strange thumping inside him, and a peak of intense excitement, but he didn't want to misunderstand any of it.
