Right in my face and I didn't even see him come out. He put his hands on the arms of the patio chair I was curled up in, brought his head down until we were nose to nose and smiled bitterly at me.
You can't..stop me from loving you. That's what my life is devoted to, Neamhchiontach.
Then Caleb pushed off from the arms of my chair and walked quickly back inside.
Tell us how you really feel. Lochlan yells toward the house with the chuckle and I shoot him a look that shuts him up. We're no longer allowed to bully or roast anyone when they're struggling, no matter with what.
Peanut-
That counts and now you need to apologize.
If I go chasing after him he's going to think I'm just being possessive and he's going to go on the defensive.
Then text him.
Fine. Lochlan studies his phone for a minute, sends a message and then tosses his phone on the table.
Better, Princess?
Oh, you're in a mood tonight.
The Devil just came outside and tried to ruffle our feathers and you want me to not be in a mood?
Right. I don't.
The next thing you say better not be that he's harmless.
I shake my head. It wasn't going to be. We know that better than anyone. I just want to change the subject.
You just want to live on your potato farm by the sea.
I do.
That's a wonderful goal, Bridgie. I wouldn't have expected it from you.
What did you expect?
I figured you would get stars in your eyes from all of the trips and gifts and I'd become the brunt of jokes for a completely different reason than he has.
I still get the gifts and the trips and the stars though.
Yeah, not sure how you pulled that one off.
I learned from a master thief.
That's grifter. I just take opportunities. Not stuff.
Is it diff-
It is.
