“What happened when I was in the bathroom?” “You left really suddenly,” he says, and I’m not surprised that he can’t let it go. It’s started snowing again and the flakes flutter down to land on his shoulders, the back of his hand, the tips of his lashes. When he pulls back, he runs a finger across my forehead. He takes a step forward and bends to kiss me, deepening it gently, a tiny, sweet taste. “I’ll be terrible company tonight, but it’s still going to be weird sleeping alone in my own bed. “I will.” I pull my lips between my teeth, resisting the urge to tell him to come with me and be my sounding board. But if you need me to come over, just text.” “I think I just need to go home and freak out a little on my own.”Įthan tilts his head, gaze roaming my face deliberately.
I scrape the toe of my boot against a patch of ice. I need to figure out what the hell I’m going to do for a job, immediately. I need to think and make some sense of how Dane had the balls to say something like that to me with his brother just feet away.
Attempting to tamp down my anger, I take a deep breath and give him a very wobbly smile this isn’t his fault. “No.” I wince, hoping he knows this came out more abruptly than I intended. “Do you want me to come back to your place with you?” “I’m not great, honestly, but I’ll be fine.” I think. He didn’t bother to put on his coat before following me outside and shivers against the cold. Turning, I watch as he carefully makes his way through the slush and the ice and comes to a stop in front of me. I’m halfway to my car when I hear Ethan’s voice calling out to me across the parking lot.
