I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened the night before.
Not the letters.
Not the past.
Not even the strange things Aria had discovered.
I was tired of secrets.
For once, I wanted something simple.
Something that didn't leave me wondering what would happen next.
Unfortunately, Blake was standing in my kitchen.
And he was staring at me like he was trying to make me forget every thought in my head.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.
He smiled.
“Like what?”
“Like you're about to say something annoying.”
“I was actually going to say you look beautiful.”
I rolled my eyes.
“That's worse.”
He laughed.
“You don't like compliments?”
“Not from you.”
“Liar.”
I turned toward the counter, trying to hide my smile.
“You're really confident.”
“I have to be.”
