I feel his kiss linger on my cheek the whole time I’m locking the door after he left. My hands shake while I walk around the house, turning off the lights and heading upstairs to my bedroom. I’m exhausted and tense. Tense because I want to go watch his hockey game but know that I can’t without it getting back to my brother. Tense because I want to be his date to that casino night and tense because all I wanted was for him to kiss me before he left.
