This is mortifying.
Also kind of funny?
Mostly mortifying.
At least they’re rooting for us?
With a SEX TOY, Silas.
A thoughtful sex toy.
I hate you.
No you don’t.
The dots appear and disappear for a long time.Then:
Temptress
No.I don’t.
But we need to talk.About this.About us.About what we’re doing.
I know.Come up this weekend?We can figure it out.Together.
Together.Yeah.Okay.
And Silas?
Yeah?
I’m scared.
Me too, temptress.
But I want to do this.Figure it out.Together.
We will.
I set my phone down and look at Echo, who’s watching me with her big green eyes.
“Someone knows,” I tell her.“And soon, everyone’s going to know.”
She meows, which I choose to interpret as encouragement.
This weekend, Bailey and I will talk about the future.About what this is between us.
And then—soon—I’ll tell Hunter the truth.
Because Morgan’s right.The longer I wait, the worse it gets.
And Bailey Price is worth fighting for.Worth being honest for.
Even if it means risking everything.
Bailey
It’s beena month since he showed me those photos in his office.A month since I saw Here through his eyes and started wondering if maybe, just maybe, I’d been wrong about that place all along.
