“I’ve been tiptoeing around here but it doesn’t matter if I do that or scream the place down. Your opinion of me won’t change. I’m done pretending I don’t exist for your comfort. Kick me out if you want. Until you do, though, I’m existing in this fucking house that I’m paying rent for.” I pulled the envelope of cash out of my purse and started counting out bills. “How much?”
“I am so sorry. I should’ve knocked. I thought I heard you call my name and I thought you might be sick so I just barged in. I am incredibly sorry, Dylan.”
“No, I’m sorry. I don’t… Normally, I… Jesus. This is embarrassing.”
“Don’t be embarrassed.”
“You just heard me calling your name while jacking off, Harper. I’m pretty sure that’s harassment or something. I’m sure I just made you uncomfortable and I’m sorry for that.”
“Why are you sorry? You’re not a slut. We all know you lost your virginity to Jake. Even if you hadn’t, sleeping with people you’re attracted to doesn’t make you a slut. You’re just living your life, Harper. I’m sorry if I made you feel like I thought you were anything other than fucking great. I was just pissed. At Silas and Dylan. Not because anyone did anything wrong but because I’m jealous and that’s not something I handle very well.”
“The way he was looking at her last night? I almost want to say do it.”
“He needs to know that he’s lost in every way.”
“We can’t send it.”
