“Really? Then why are you having to sneak around behind your boyfriend’s back?”
Her eyes narrowed. “My relationship with Cash is none of your business.”
It was possible I’d misread the situation, but if my assumption was correct, Cash deserved to know what was happening. I just didn’t know if I should be the one to tell him.

CASH
Throwingon a pair of basketball shorts after my shower, I walked toward the kitchen. Britt was still at the stove while Silas leaned against the island behind her, arms crossed. Both of them had their backs to me, but I could sense something was up. I stood back around the corner, not wanting to interrupt whatever sibling feud they were having.
“You need to tell him,” Silas urged.
“Like I said, this is none of your business.”
“I’m making it my business. You’ve been sneaking around with your ex.”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I know exactly what I heard,” he stated. “‘I miss you, Kenny. We won’t have to sneak around anymore.’ That’s what you said, isn’t it?”
It was as though the floor fell out from under me. Did I hear what I thought I’d heard? Britt had told Kenny she missed him and they wouldn’t have to sneak around anymore? Because I was leaving for a few weeks?
“That wasn’t?—”
“Don’t even try to spin it,” Silas barked, cutting her off. “I might be screwed up, but I’m not stupid. I know what I heard.”
“This isn’t your relationship, Silas. Stay out of it.”
“You think I can just pretend I didn’t hear that?” He scoffed. “Do you even care about Cash?”
My heart was beating so fast I thought it might break free from my chest. Still, I wasn’t going to budge because I wasn’t sure if I would get genuine answers once I stepped in.
“Of course, I do.”
“Then why are you doing this?”
She sighed. “It’s complicated.”
“No, it’s not. You need to tell him the truth.”
“The truth would be nice,” I said as I finally rounded the corner.
Britt turned, eyes widening. She glanced at Silas and he glared at her.
I stepped closer and crossed my arms over my chest, mirroring his stance. “You’ve been sneaking around with someone else?”
She exhaled. “I was going to tell you.”
Silas snorted. “That’s bullshit.”
“Silas,” she warned, but he wasn’t backing down.
“Cash is about to leave for LA with me. He deserves the truth.”
My stomach twisted. “So, it’s true?” I stepped closer, my voice tight. “You’re sneaking around with someone else?”
She rubbed her forehead, avoiding my eyes. “I was going to tell you.”
