“Like a mom and a dad?” Tabitha sucks in a breath, blinking away quickly, as her hand moves on his back again. I swallow thickly, feeling all too kindred with Milo. “Yeah, kind of like that.” “We be all together?” Tabitha’s eyes catch on mine, and I get lost there for a beat. She’s unreadable, save for the soft nod she gives me. Together with Tabitha. It’s a dangerous sentiment, one that has become increasingly appealing with every moment I spend in her vicinity. “Except when I’m away for work. But I promise you I’ll come back in between.”
