“Come on. Let’s go upstairs.”
She snaps out of her surprise. “What? No. You can leave.”
“I can’t.”
“You can.” She stands and points at the back door.
I move around the table to her, and her throat bobs as she swallows hard, but she doesn’t back away from me. Good.
“I can’t leave until I know.” I stop just in front of her, her head tilted back so she can hold my gaze.
“Until you know what?”
If this is real. Because it feels so fucking real to me that I can’t breathe without thinking your name. “How you got this scar.” I run my fingertips along her hairline.”
