“Maddie," he says, between kisses. I think it’s the first time I’ve ever liked anyone calling me that. "Maddie, wait."

But I don’t want to wait. If I wait, I’ll have to tell him what I did and then he’ll probably never kiss me again. I don’t deserve kisses, cheating whore that I am.

"Maddie, come on!" he says, through laughter. I’m glad he can laugh.”

"I love you," he tells me.”
