“How did you know?” she asks. The door shuts behind me. “Because it’s the same feeling I used to get with you.” Her lips part in shock. She runs her hands down her pajama pants with nerves. “Yeah?” I nod. I’m brave enough to take a few steps closer to her. She surprisingly lets me crowd her space. “I know there’s still so much fucking baggage between us, Goldie. And I know that I’ve been shitty to you since you showed up, but I really need you right now.”
