My Love, Enlighten me

She ate a little too much tonight. Now, she vomited badly and the smell was foul.

She couldn’t smell it, but Kenny Clarke could.

He just frowned slightly. When she finished throwing up, he took a paper towel and wiped it up for her. Then, he took a bottled water inside the car and handed it to her.

“Get off the car.” Kenny Clarke said calmly.

He opened the car door and got off the car. He took of his coat and sweater that were stained by Gloria Taylor’s vomit and left only a thin shirt.

Gloria Taylor’s clothes on the other hand was clean.

When she got off the car, the cold winter wind blew over. She felt refreshed.

She turned to look at Kenny Clarke who was wearing a thin shirt. She couldn’t help asking, “Aren’t you cold?”

When she asked, Kenny Clarke turned to look at her.

She had just vomited. Her eyes were wet and slightly red. Her face was pale and so was her lips. Poor Gloria Taylor looked pitiful.

He was about say, “What do you think?”, but instead, he said, “I’m not cold.”

Gloria Taylor was mentally preparing herself to listen to his harsh words and planning to reply him with, “You deserve it.”, but he said that he was not cold.

The man was no ordinary. The temperature at the moment was obviously below zero, but he was only wearing think shirt and said that he was not cold.

But, he was not lying. Her whole body was shivering, but Kenny Clarke didn’t react to the cold at all.
