I woke up to Elliot sleeping next to me, but no Fallyn. The house smelled like coffee, and this had the distinct feeling of déjà vu compared to yesterday, except that Mrs. Rita didn’t work on Saturdays, especially after a long week. Elliot would never let her.

King wasn’t up here either. He seemed to be happy to follow Fallyn around.

Not that I blamed him. Fuck last night was incredible. The sex, the talking, the having Fallyn in my arms. What would it take to keep her in my life, because I swore there was something between us.

But Elliot.

Two words that carried so much weight, it might crush me.

I wouldn’t think about it. As long as I stayed away from those paths my mind wanted to forge, I’d be fine.

Regardless of the ache in my chest at being pressed close to Elliot, but no longer Fallyn. There was no ignoring how many nights this hadn’t meant anything between him and me.

Except, had that ever really been true? Or was it easy to ignore there was more because there weren’t external sources making me look closer at my relationship with Elliot?

I should get downstairs. As I climbed from the bed, what if this is the last time whispered through my thoughts.

Weird question, because it wouldn’t be, but even if it was, Elliot and I would still be friends.

Downstairs, I found Fallyn in the breakfast nook, King at her feet. The little alcove was the perfect place to sit in the mornings in the winter, because the morning sun came in from the side of the bay window, and it wasn’t too hot to sit and enjoy it.

She gave me a faint smile, but didn’t say anything. Speaking felt like it might shatter this world that only had this house in it.

I sure was contemplative today. Had we really ripped out our insides and exposed ourselves so much yesterday? The memory seemed a million miles away, but also still felt raw.

The smell of coffee drew me into the kitchen, and King followed me, running around my feet as I crossed the room. He slipped and slid on the tile, but didn’t leave my side as I made myself a cup of morning worship, then returned to sit across from Fallyn.

What was I supposed to say? Did we keep pretending this was a weird frenemyship? I didn’t like that idea, but what else were we supposed to be?

How about straight up friends? I hoped so, since at this point she knew more of Elliot’s and my secrets than anyone else.

“Do you want to know the big reason I won’t take Nigel’s job offers?” Fallyn’s question was quiet, but the implications screamed in my head.

“Nigel tried to hire you? Of course he did. He knows talent when he sees it.”

She hid her expression behind a giant coffee mug that said meh on it. It had been a white elephant gift from Jeremy, years ago, and it was one of Elliot’s favorites.

“Pretty sure these days it’s just lip service on his part, but yes,” she said.
