I rolled my eyes, semantics.

“I was scared.”

“I know.”

“I was also laughing.”

“I know.”

A man of few words, still.

“But, that’s when I knew.”

“Knew what?”

“That I liked being chased.”

His eyes glinted.

“Mhm.”

“By you.”

His eyes darkened.

“There’s a difference?”

I huffed out a laugh.

“Yes, a big difference.”

His mouth pressed into a hard line.

Fuck, I wanted to kiss him again.

I leaned over the console for a brief second before I remembered the main thing we needed to talk about.

“There’s still one thing.”

He nodded.

“The night I gave you the note.”

He looked away as his jaw clenched.

“I need you to tell me what happened.”

“I will.”

I breathed out.

“Why didn’t you come?”

Silence.

I waited.

He finally looked at me.
