“It’s only for two weeks,” Nate continued. “We’re not signing a lease together or anything. I don’t want you to feel like I’m pressuring you into something you’re not ready for. I just hate the thought of you living alone in some random place in the city, especially since the cheapest apartments are in areas that aren’t great for single females, and I don’t want you to waste money on an Airbnb or hotel when there’s room at my house.”

“I appreciate that. Really,” Kris said, fighting back emotion. When was the last time someone had looked out for her like this? Not because they’d been paid to do so, but because they cared? Never. “But I can’t impose.”

“You won’t be imposing. Iwantyou there.” Nate rubbed his thumb over the back of her hand. “You don’t have to decide now. Just think about it.”

Kris wanted to say yes more than anything. Living with Nate meant more time together, and they needed every second they could get. But she didn’t feel right taking advantage of the Reynolds’ hospitality, eating their food, and using their utilities when they were already struggling.
