So, why is it so fucking hard to just say it? It’s infuriating, this constant back and forth going on in my mind. It should be simple: I want Bash. I want him bad, with everything in me. And it didn’t escape my notice that he asked me out on an official date only after I came out to Cade. Like he was rewarding me. He doesn’t want to be a secret, and he doesn’t deserve to be.
