Such as why did Wes have to die?
Why did Jessy come back to town?
Why had I fucked things up with the one person I had truly loved?
I couldn’t answer any of them right now.
All I knew was the kiss with Willa was the start of the healing process. I had to hope she felt the same.
In the end I released her and stepped away. “I’ll see you out there.” I quirked an eyebrow. “Less of you, I hope.”
Leaving her still staring after me open-mouthed, I left the room.
I’d acted a lot braver than I actually felt.
I wonder if she bought it.
