“Stop deflecting,” he countered. “You think I haven’t noticed you’re not sleeping? Barely eating. Moody…”
“So we’re going to blame all this on… what, my period starting?”

“I didn’t say that,” he quickly corrected. “I’m not absolving myself of needing to communicate better, or any of that. I think we’ve both been off, and we can both do better with just… saying what we need to say. Instead of assuming how the other might feel?”
I pushed out a breath, then nodded. “I… I can agree with that,” I told him, and then welcomed the press of his lips to mine.

“Okay, but areyouchecking forher?”

Was it?
… no.
Not really.
Still, itfeltlike a question, and it made sense in my head, even with nothing but paranoia to support it.
Iwantedto know better than to think he wanted anybody except me. And at the moment, instead of hesitating… I went with that feeling.
“No. Not at all.”
