Strings of Fate
Chapter 28
28- Babysitting and board games
A couple hours later, Darrien and I are sitting playing Monopoly at the table when there’s a knock at the door. Darrien answers it and returns with a package of food. I’m grateful for the diversion because he is absolutely dominating the game. He is far more competitive than I would have expected. He drops the package on the bench and I open it up. I find three, tightly sealed containers of what looks like chicken soup as well as some fresh, warm bread. This meal was clearly chosen in consideration of Logan. I shoot Bellamy a quick text.
Ryann- The food arrived. It was very thoughtful of you. Thank you.
Bellamy–You’re welcome.
I transfer the soup into proper bowls and Darrien finds a knife and slices the bread. I place one bowl of soup on a tray and pour another glass of orange juice. Darrien adds a couple slices of bread to the tray.
“Thanks, you sit and eat. I’ll take this to Logan.” Darrien nods. I carefully carry the tray to my room and place it on the bedside table. I pat Logan gently on the arm.
“Logan sweetie. It’s time for you to eat something.” He wakes slowly, he’s clearly very groggy. He sits up a bit and I help him adjust the pillows around him to make it more comfortable.
“How are you feeling?” I ask.
“Not so good.” he answers miserably.
“Has Nana called you?” he asks. I shake my head.
I promise I’ll tell you as soon as I hear from her. Now, I have some food for you. Do you think you can eat a bit?” Logan shrugs. I place the tray on

Darrien and I continue our game of Monopoly. Honestly at this point I know I’m doomed, but I can at least make winning as troublesome for him as possible by hanging in and being generally irritating. I am just about to call it quits and let Darrien know that he has officially won the game and the accompanying bragging rights when my phone goes

How is he? I’m so sorry. I was out shopping then I thought I’d get lunch and there must have been bad signal because I never got your calls and I forgot to charge my phone last night so it was going flat and then I saw your text but my phone went flat before I could answer so I borrowed a phone to call you from this lovely waiter who has been just so helpful. Thank goodness I had your number memorised! I’m heading straight back now, I should only be another half an hour or so. I’m so sorry!” Her words all come out
