“Okay, bye.”
“Bye.”
I’m about to hang up, but his voice mere seconds later stops me.
“Oh, and, Tabitha? I?—”
He pauses, and my heart seizes, and I wonder if he’s about to say something that will change the game between us. I don’t think I’d even hesitate to say it back.
The silent beat has me on the edge of my seat, but he takes it in another direction. “I miss you guys too.”
CHAPTER 41
RHYS
Rhys:
I have a confession to make. It’s been stressing me out and I could use your input.
Tabby:
No. I have not been faking the orgasms.
Rhys:
Funny.
Tabby:
If you send an ominous text like that then you should 100% expect me to get weird.
Rhys:
Okay, but it’s not about you. Well, not directly. Anthony wants to unmask me at Pure Pandemonium. He brought it up a while ago and isn’t letting it go. Now he wants Elle to remove it.
Tabby:
Fuck Anthony.
Rhys:
I’ve always known this storyline might come. It’s been done before. It’s always kind of exciting.
Tabby:
Still fuck Anthony.
Rhys:
I’m more worried about the circus it will turn into with the fans. Right now, that separation feels like it keeps you and Milo safe.
Tabby:
Wait. Do you *want* to take your mask off?
Rhys:
I don’t know.
