Henry’s face cracks with delight, that little shit.
My eyes go wide. Henry snorts a laugh.
“….azines. Magazines. Total fiend for them. Bit weird, actually.”
I roll my eyes at her attempt to save that.
Fucking ridiculous.
Jordan nods, then looks back and forth between me and Taura.
“And now you’re with Henry?” Jordan clarifies.
“Yep…” Taura nods. “Ish.”
Jordan squints over at her. “And Jonah?”
Henry breathes in steadily through his nose. I can hear that one hurting him a bit.
It gets harder and harder to share.
“Yep.” Taura squeezes Henry’s hand.
She knows it’s getting weirder.
We all do.
It’s the elephant in the room now, and none of us know what to do about it.
“Have you slept with Christian?” Jordan asks, eyebrows up.
I can’t tell if she’s asking to actually get a hold of it all or just to make them uncomfortable.
Taura nods pleasantly and, actually, this is one of the things I admire most about her: She doesn’t give a shit.
I think people might call her a ‘sexually liberated woman,’ and she doesn’t see people’s judgement from it either, even when it’s there like it might be now.
It could be a bit weird if you think about it, maybe. I’ll give Jordan that, but find me a friendship pool whose dating lives aren’t in overlap.
“What can I say?” Taura shrugs, breezy. “These boys were my Pokémon.”
I sniff a laugh.
Jordan tilts her head, thinking. “Who’s Pikachu?”
I jut my chin out at the question.
Fuck.
I glance from Tausie to Henry, who’s looking at his hands.
“I’m Bowser,” I announce just to break the tension.
“Wrong game, dipshit.” Henry glances at me.
I blow air out of my mouth, stand up, go help Mum set the table.
Walk into the dining room, give her a bear hug from behind.
