“Absolutely.”

While Matty showered,I sent a quick text to my sister.

I’m so fucked

To my surprise, she responded immediately. I’d figured she’d be busy with the baby and would respond whenever she had a chance.

Nat

Bear problems? *winky-faced emoji*

You’re such a shit

You’re the one who said you were fucked

Despite the fact we were texting and she couldn’t possibly see me, I rolled my eyes.

You know what? Never mind

Wait!

I’ll be good

Promise

My phone alerted me to an incoming FaceTime call, Nat’s name flashing on the screen, but with a flick of the eye to the bathroom, I declined it.

This convo needs to stay on text

He’s in the shower and could come out at any moment

. . .

I don’t know what to say here that’s not going to get me in trouble

Despite myself, I smiled at her sass. God, I missed her.

We might have fooled around a little bit

So . . . not so straight as you thought?

Not so straight as HE thought

This is a bi-awakening sitch

Ooh! That’s one of my favorite tropes

This isn’t a romance novel, Nat

Don’t ruin this for me

Oh, I forgot this conversation is all about you

Ok fine. So what’s the issue?

I’m catching feelings

Not just catching
