“Put yourself down.”
“Do I?”
“Yeah.”
“I didn’t realize I was doing it.”
“You do. You should be nicer to my friend. He’s a great guy,” Cage said playfully.
“Great is a relative term.”
“There you go again. Take the compliment.”
“It’s easier said than done. What if I said you were the most amazing guy I’ve ever met and that every time I was with you I wished the time would never end?”
Cage froze.
“Not so easy to take a compliment now, is it?”
“Do you really feel like that?”
“Oh, that was kind of a lot wasn’t it?”
“No, seriously do you feel like that?”
“Does it matter? You have a girlfriend.”
“What does it matter if I have a girlfriend?”
“It matters because if I did think that, it would be because I wanted more to happen between us than was possible.”
“What if it was possible?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, what if I didn’t have a girlfriend?”
I looked into Cage’s beautiful, soul-crackling eyes. He was serious. He was considering breaking up with his girlfriend for me.
“There are things about me you don’t know,” I said unable to stop myself.
“What? That you’re more adorable than I already think you are?”
“No, stop. There are things I need to tell you before you do or say anything that we won’t be able to come back from.”
“Oh, you’re serious.”
“I am.”
Cage shifted uncomfortably. “Okay. What’s up?”
My heart pounded.
“Where do I begin? Okay. I mentioned my father has an island.”
“I remember something about that, yes.”
“It was ten minutes ago. I hope you do.”
