Out of all my friends I figured she was the most likely to believe me
Of course this had to be the chief criterion. Aiden is smarter than me.
There’s a wistful part of me that’s mourning the fact that she’s no longer my little secret that I get to keep just for myself.
Oof, that’s gonna leave a mark.
I almost cave. Almost say something I shouldn’t. Or maybe I should. But instead I just say, “Oh… All good, then.”
I know this is an unprecedented crazy situation, Aiden, but the correct response is, “I like holding you, too.”
It’s a three-way race to see who will first call Aiden on his feelings for Evie, and honestly I have no idea who will win (or who I want to win).
