I don’t want to just assume, thank you.” He huffed and said over his shoulder, “You know I would tell you if I didn’t want you there.” “I figure, but you never know.” Aiden’s attention was forward when he replied with something that had me wondering if he was dying. Or delusional. Or maybe this entire moment was just a dream. “You don’t ever have to worry about me not wanting you somewhere. Got it?”
