Dating someone and not telling us?

His mind won’t be unblown for a while
“You’re on my ice now, Bella.”
Quinn snickers. “How long have you been wanting to say that?”
“Oh, since we decided to go skating together.”
I help her tie her skates so they’re secure. She told me she’s never done this, so I want to make sure she is ready to go. Even if she never wants to try it again, I want her to at least have fun today.
“You’re way too excited for this,” she says.
“Teaching the woman I love how to skate? You’re fucking right I’m excited for it.”
“You know I will probably be terrible, right?”
Quinn stands, her feet wobbling underneath her. I grasp her by the elbows and lead her onto the ice as she clutches onto my forearms.
“I won’t let you fall, Quinn.”
“I know.”
“I’m going to start you off easy.”
“How do I do this?” she asks, squeezing onto me even tighter.
“You’ll want to find your balance. Bend your knees and stick your arms straight out in front of you.”
Given that I’m still holding on to her, she only bends her knees. “Like this?”
“Yes. I’m going to let go so you can work on balancing.”
“Okay.” She nods as I step away. Her arms stick straight out. “It’s a good thing I don’t have any shows because I am going to feel this in my core.”
“Save those high notes for later, Bella.” I start humming the tune to “Wildflowers in the Weeds.”
“Jasper Hayes. Have you been listening to my music?”
“I told you I was going to.”
“You like the upbeat ones?”
I shrug a shoulder as I watch her working on her balance.
