“Next time something looks bad like this, can you give me the benefit of the doubt? I know our relationship has moved quickly, but my feelings are real. I would never do anything to hurt you.”
I chew on my lower lip. “I will. But what are we going to do now? It sounds like your aunt is plotting against my dad.”
“It definitely doesn’t look good. And I don’t believe for a moment it’s an inside joke.”
“What are we going to do?”
“I could call her. She’d have a harder time pushing me away over the phone than text.”
I think about it. “Okay, but maybe wait.”
“You want me to wait? Isn’t this urgent?”
“It is, but she’ll be ready with excuses if you call now. Give it a few days or at least until the evening, and you’ll catch her off guard.”
He kisses my cheek. “Good thinking. Meanwhile, I can try hacking into their emails.”
“You know how to hack?”
Bash presses his finger to my lips. “Let me take you to your room. You’re looking a little pale.”
“I am tired.” All at once, my wounds start hurting again. “Must be the stress.”
As we make our way to the dorms, my mind races. How serious are the threats to my dad’s life? Do I need to call him and warn him? How can I do that without a phone? I can’t ask to use Bash’s because his aunt and uncle probably keep tabs on his calls.
