“What?”
“You’re avoiding the question.”
“I learned from you.”
He folds his arms.
“I don’t avoid questions.”
I look at him.
He looks back.
Neither of us speaks.
Finally, he releases a breath.
“Why are you awake?”
“I don’t know what happens now.”
The truth leaves me before I can stop it.
Sean’s expression softens.
“Now you live.”
“Where?”
“With me.”
“What if I want to live with Hayley?”
“She lives with me too.”
“Did you tell her that?”
“Yes.”
“What did she say?”
“That I was moving too fast.”
I return to the scones.
“That sounds like her.”
“Then she said she wasn’t leaving.”
I smile.
“That also sounds like her.”
