ASTRID All through the drive to wherever he's taking me, our fingers remain intertwined. He seems to be staring at the streets with raised browns filled with questions. When we get to the Central Park Tower, he pushes forward and scans the magnificent building like he's seeing it for the first time. His actions arouse so many questions and even earlier, when he said he only came by the bar because his friends asked, I wanted to ask him why they did that and why he couldn't say no. I'm in the same boat as him tonight. Lilly literally forced me to get in the car after she coaxed me into tugging on my black jeans and a white lace top. It's my twenty-first birthday and she had denied me the choice of staying indoors tonight and cussing out Tristan. I sigh and relax into the hard body besi
