Calista just slowly nodded, truly wondering if she ever would.

Calista just remained silent as she rested against Gareth. Finally opening her eyes, she just gazed up at him. "I'm sorry...you should be allowed to enjoy your meal...not be forced to tend to me."

Calista sighed softly, touched by Gareth's words as her eyes misted over. "Oh, Gareth," she whispered as she reached out and weakly caressed his face with her fingertips. "I love you so much," she murmured.

Giving him a gentle smile, Calista leaned forward and lightly kissed his lips for a brief moment before she pulled back. "Go ahead and eat, beloved. I'll be all right."

Calista nodded and gave him a weak smile. "You need to keep up your strength. It would be terrible if you became ill just because you had to keep taking care of me."

Calista gave him a gentle smile as she slowly pulled back so that Gareth could move from her side to eat his meal.

Calista gave Gareth a gentle smile as he moved his chair closer to her. "Thank you for getting and preparing this meal for us," she said softly. "Were you able to pay the grocer?" she asked him quietly after a moment, praying that he had been able to.

"Yes." Gareth said. "But he took only a part of the money, he wouldn't take all."

Calista sighed softly, although she told herself to be content that at least Gareth had convinced the man to take at least some payment. "Do the people seem to be doing well?" she asked him afterwards, remembering that times had been hard when she had been sent away to marry Julius.
