He lifted me right up into his face and kept me there, eyeing me suspiciously. We good?
I missed you like fuck, Benny.
That much? I should feel special.
Yeah, you should. You should have come with us.
I don't fit in your sardine can, Bee.
We would've cut a hole in the end for your feet to stick out at night.
Ah, but I was warm and had so much space here.
Well, don't like it too much, Ben.
I woke up constantly looking for you.
Why didn't you call me then?
It was four a.m. Plus you two had some things to work out. Did you?
I don't know if we did. But we're happy and we came home missing you like crazy.
So we're cool?
Yes? Did you expect that to change?
Maybe. Hell, I don't know, Bridge. He has his shit together for someone with no actual roots. I wondered if you were going to up and pick a side already and leave me in the dust because I've been so closed off for so long. I was protecting myself from you and it'll probably be the reason you leave me.
I don't want to leave you.
Then stay.
That's the plan. If you don't mind Lochlan staying too. We're the three musketeers, aren't we?
Yeah. We are.
But you have to stop being so distant, okay? It's gotten really hard.
You know what else is really hard, Bridget?
Oh god..
Missing you and feeling bad that I've been checked out for so long.
I didn't expect you to say that.
You thought I was going to say my dick?
Yeah.
That's my girl.
