Chapter 106

• It feels strange to share this moment with someone. A moment where we’re both so vulnerable, sharing things that we don’t share with anyone else. Especially since we’ve only known one another for a short period. I wonder if she feels what I feel. I wonder if she’s running from her feelings of losing her fiancé and using me as shelter from them. It’s a thought that makes my stomach turn.
• “Hey, what are you thinking?” She places her hands on either side of my face.
• “Nothing.” The guilt of my growing feelings for her starts to rear its ugly head, a new feeling on its heels… resentment. Will I grow to resent Daphne for replacing Mira? Is that what I’m trying to do, replace her? I know it doesn’t make sense, but my brain won’t let me get around the thought.
