Page 83 of When Alec Met Evie
His eyes are damp when he looks up, giving Alec the tiniest nod. “I’ll do it. Just tell me where to be and when.”
He turns and leaves the kitchen, and Alec’s shoulders sag as he turns and sinks into me. I wrap my arms around him, my hands sliding up and down his back.
He buries his head in my shoulder, breathing deeply before saying, “I did not know how that was going to go.”
“You did great. Truly. You said exactly the right thing.”
He looks up to meet my gaze, his expression soft and vulnerable. “You think so?”
“Yeah. I really do.”
He leans back against the counter and tucks me into his chest, his arms settling around my shoulders.
“Want to tell me the long version of what happened last night?” I ask him.
We stay wrapped up in each other’s arms while he talks through everything that happened at the police station. He breezes a little too quickly through the part where he talks to Coach Davis, but based on what I heard Theo say, I can guess how big of a deal it was that Alec intervened.
I push up on my toes, lifting my hands to his cheeks as I kiss him. “I’m really proud of you,” I say. “You earned his trustandgot him into therapy. Both of those things are pretty big deals.”
He breathes out a sigh. “I just hope it works. Because it’ll be my neck on the line if it doesn’t.”
