God, what if he doesn’t want anything more than this? What if I’m just convenient? What if...“Cate?”
I looked up.
Gabriel was watching me with that expression. The one that said he knew exactly what I was thinking. “You okay?” he asked.
No.
Yes.
I don’t know.
“Fine,” I said, smiling too brightly. “Just tired. Glitter is exhausting.”
He didn’t look convinced, but Megan was there, so he just nodded.
I caught sight of myself in the side mirror. I was covered in glitter. Literally sparkling in the late afternoon sun like some kind of deranged fairy. And I was happy.
Terrified and confused and completely out of my depth, but happy.
What are we doing, Gabriel?
I didn’t have an answer. But tonight, maybe I’d find the courage to ask.
