On both those things.” “What?” She whispers, her tongue darts out as her gaze drops to my lips. “I didn’t realize it right away, it wasn’t until I told you about what happened that I even knew I had moved on.” With my hand that’s not around her, I reach up to trace my thumb along her cheek. “And I do like you.” I wait until her eyes meet mine, trying not to focus on the way her chest rises and falls heavily against mine. “I like you a whole hell of a lot more than I expected and in ways I never planned for.”
