CASSIE
My heart stings for Roanne.
“Yeah. We figured that one out. But she’s hurt, Grayson. I don’t like it one bit”
“I don’t too” He groans. Definitely not the man I met in the living room. He’s let his guard
down here, and I can’t express how glad that makes me.
“Just let her down slowly, if you must. I’m sure she understands, it’s just a lot to take in.”
“I hate it. I hate this.”
“Me too.” I say and we stay in silence. He keeps his eyes trained to the ceiling and mine
trained to a loose thread on the duvet. I pick at it until he rises.
“I have to go.”
“Yeah, bye” I leave my eyes on the duvet.
“Cassie” He calls and I look up. “I’m sorry. I realised I haven’t said that yet and I know I
owe you more than that, but for now. I’m sorry. Your whole life’s changing because of
me.”
