Chapter 451

• My last semester of school when I didn't have a job I did feel a sense of peace and freedom, but I also felt at times like I was being a lazy freeloader and that's not the life I want to lead.
• "I vehemently object to that statement. You could never be miserable to live with, not even if you tried" Rhode states with a wide grin, resting his cheek against the couch cushion and gazing at me endearingly. Oh this man, I fall for him over and over again.
• "That seems like a challenge to me" I reply with a small laugh, lifting up my foot to poke the side of his stomach. He takes my foot in his hand and gently squeezes it. I hadn't realized how sore my feet were until just now. Rhode seems to sense it and starts to gently massage my foot. "Oh my goodness you beautiful man I love you" I tell him as I place my plate down on the coffee table beside his empty plate and stretch my feet out towards him.
