CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

Thalia

“ARE WE GOING home?” I’m confused, but I’m not opposed to the idea of it. We’re from Greensboro, North Carolina, about an hour outside Durham. It feels like we’ve been in the car forever, though. I haven’t been home since Owen and I drove back for dinner with our parents the week I got back.

Sebastian isn’t saying anything about where we’re going. This morning, my heart felt like it grew two sizes when he handed me a bouquet of flowers. The second bouquet Sebastian walked in with is in my lap currently. I’m not sure what he told Owen, but my brother didn’t question the flowers or us leaving together. “Close, but not quite.”

His hand has been resting on my knee the entire drive, but my stomach is rolling with how nervous I am. I can’t help but think that maybe his quietness is because I told him what happened with Louis. He was quiet after I told him, but I didn’t know what to expect. I haven’t been in a position where I had to disclose what happened in my last relationship. We fell asleep, but I woke up a few hours later, somehow slipping out without waking him up. Bash must have been so tired from his game that he didn’t budge.

I was scared about telling Sebastian, but I didn’t want to lie when he asked. Owen doesn’t even know that Louis exists, but I bet he would be on a plane tomorrow if he did. Eventually, I went back to sleep, but I stared at the ceiling, replaying the conversation over and over.

Fuck, now I’m back to feeling sick to my stomach. I sigh softly, deciding that now is not the time for me to start tiptoeing around Sebastian. I know what Louis tried to do wasn’t my fault, but it’s mortifying. “Listen, about what I told you last night…I don’t want it to make things weird or anything. I’m fine.”

Bash looks over at me, confusion warping his features. “What are you talking about? Knowing about that doesn’t change the way I feel about you.”

It’s relieving to hear him say that, but now I feel even more confused about why he is acting this way. “Then why are you acting so weird?”

“I promise it’s not about that; it’s hard coming here. I’m afraid this will scare you off because it’s a lot,” he admits, exhaling a shuddering breath as we pull into a parking lot. “She isn’t going to be the same person you remember. Please let me know if it’s too much while we’re in there, and we’ll leave.”

I nod slowly, not feeling any better. Who is this she he’s talking about? He doesn’t have any family except for Mimi. “Okay,” I agree reluctantly.

Sebastian runs a hand through his hair before turning the car off and getting out. Bash walks around to open my door before I can do it myself. I make sure to grab the flowers he went to get this morning; I have a feeling they’re important.
