Every time we go out, it’s a huge spectacle with drama and whispers. I started at the gym today with Summer and worked a bit, so I’m all set.” My sentiment hangs in the air between us, and his gray eyes flash. I’m all set. We can both see that means we might not need this arrangement anymore. We can both see the point I just made flashing like a neon light between us. We both pretend it’s not there.
