By the time I reach my apartment door, my heart is already beating too fast.
Anna’s text keeps replaying in my head.
DEAN IS HERE!!!!!
As if there was any other possible reaction.
I almost turned around.
I almost told her to make him leave.
Instead…
I climbed every flight of stairs with my stomach somewhere near my throat.
Because despite everything…
Despite the kiss.
Despite how badly he hurt me.
Despite Noah spending the last few hours trying to convince me that I deserved someone who would never make me question where I stood…
A part of me still wanted to see Dean.
That was the terrifying part.
I unlock the door.
The apartment is quiet.
Anna looks up first.
Then my eyes find him.
Dean is already standing.
Like he’d been listening for my footsteps.
Like he’d been wait
