Chapter 136: A walk together (3)
"You shouldn’t eat so many at once when you have no water. I am regretting my decision to buy them," Rafael said, tempting to take the bag away from her.
"Then you should not have bought one gold coin worth of candy."
"I was not going to buy one gold coin worth in the beginning. It is you who interjected and said we needed to get the coin worth," Rafael clarified as she was the reason they ended up with so many.
"What?" Annalise replied, confused by what he meant. It looked like he was paying for four and only had a gold coin so he did not mind giving it away.
"I expected to be given coins back. It is your fault that I wasted a gold coin if anything," Rafael explained, taking the bag from her hands while she was distracted.
"But I thought..." Annalise muttered, feeling like a fool for not thinking about asking for coins back instead of buying more.
"As long as you keep them away from where ants might seek them out, you can keep them in your room for a while and eat when you are in the mood for it so it is not a waste. The one in your hand will be your last one for the night. I will hold the bag," Rafael said, folding it up smaller so it would fit in his pants pocket.
Annalise looked down at the red candy she held. "Since you have bought them, it is only fair that you eat one. I can find water for you if it is too sweet. Here," she held out the candy to him.
Rafael stared at the little ball which wasn’t something he would normally eat, but with Annalise holding it to him, it was hard to resist. Rather than trying to ignore that he did want to be given the candy by her so he could quickly get rid of his feelings, he leaned down so that it would be easier for her to place it in his mouth.
