Sending details but were talking about this later
I turn off my phone and clutch it.
“I need to go.”
Kelly nods. “Okay. I’ll walk you to the door.”
I move and give Clover a quick pet on the head. She twitches but doesn’t wake up. Smart rabbit. She’s keeping my secrets. Good girl.
I stop at the door. Same fucking thing as yesterday. Interrupted again. I should’ve turned my phone off the second I got here. Next time I’m staying until I’m ready to leave.
“Will you tell me now what it meant?” he asks.
I glance back. “Just that the pancakes were good.”
He scrunches his nose. “That’s it? Seriously?”
If he knew what I really said, he’d never let me back in here.
“I was expecting something else,” he says, suspicious now.
He wraps his arms around me without warning. His face presses against my chest, and I feel his breath through my shirt. My hands stay frozen at my sides like my brain just stopped working.
“Sorry, I’m a hugger,” he mumbles against my chest. “Thanks for the pancakes.”
I want to wrap my arms around him and never let go. I want to carry him back to that bed and keep him there until the rest of the world disappears.
