“You are enough for us.” Alec’s rough voice fills the silence around the table. My nails dig into the menu. I feel his eyes on me and I look up to meet his stare.

“Friday?” Lenny whispers. “Hm?” “I love you.”
“Callan…” “Shh. I want this, Friday. I’ve wanted this since the day I met you,” he whispers into my ear, nipping at my lobe between words.
She’s too much, in the best possible way. I drop my head to her forehead.

“You are like the sun, and we are like the planets orbiting around you. You are the center of the universe, and we fill in the empty spaces. Alone, we are ineffectual, but together, we make extraordinary things happen.”
