“We never speak of this again. Ever. It’s bad enough I have to be seen with you. No one needs to fucking know about…this.” “Sure,” I agree easily. Colton sighs, looking pained. “Christ. It doesn’t actually bother me being seen with you, okay? Don’t go all puppy eyes on me. It’s just… We’re gonna have to ease my family into it. No one is gonna see this coming.” “Puppy eyes?” I ask, helping Colton to his feet. “You know you have pretty eyes. Shut up.” Colton groans as I laugh.
