Chapter 13

“What happened?” Amy shouts, as I walk through the front door.

I have a giant smile plastered on my face and I can’t seem to get rid of it.

“Nothing,” I lie, as I walk past her and flop down on the couch.

“Don’t you dare tell me nothing,” Amy yells, falling down beside me. “I watched you two. I saw the kiss,” she giggles, wagging her eyebrows at me.

“Eww, stalker,” I laugh.

I lay there staring up at the ceiling with a wide, goofy grin on my face. I don’t care that Amy was creeping on me and Cohen. I had the most epic, mind-blowing kiss of my life, and it was amazing. That is, until I saw Cohen’s sister watching us.

“Tell me everything,” Amy demands with a nudge.

So, I tell her everything that transpired from the moment we left the house until I rushed back inside. Amy watches with animated smiles until I reach the point of the story where I mention Callie catching Cohen and I kissing.

“So, are you two like a thing?” Amy asks, completely ignoring the elephant in the room; Callie.

Sighing, I tuck a loose strand of hair behind my ear. “I have no idea. I mean, for sure we are friends, but we haven’t really talked about anything else. To be honest, other than tonight, I haven’t spoken this much to Cohen before. But, there is something there. It’s undeniable and I can’t explain it or wrap my head around it, but there’s a spark between us.”

“I get that, I really do, but…” Amy trails off, unsure of what to say next.

I sit up and give her a serious look. “Amy, just tell me what you are thinking,” I urge.

“Henley, I know you like Cohen. I think he’s great but, he is different. Whatever is happening between the both of you can’t last,” she says.

I feel tears burning in my eyes and I quickly swat them away. I don’t know why this is so difficult for me to comprehend. I can’t just let her words roll right off my back. I’m a person and have feelings. This thing between me and Cohen may feel like a fantasy, but I have feelings for him. And, I know he has feelings for me, too. I felt good being with him. For the first time in a very long time, I felt good. I felt like celebrating something new and exciting in my life.

I want to spend time with someone that I don’t fully understand. That excites me and terrifies me all at the same time.

“Why not?” I ask, already knowing the answer.

“Because, Henley. Cohen is different. He said so himself. If what he said is really true, those government people will eventually find him. You will get your heart broken.”

Why is the universe doing this to me?

“But what if they don't? What if Cohen can finally be at peace?” I ask.

Now that I have met Cohen, the thought of going back to life without him seems cruel. In
