He grins. “Yeah. And we could do other things, like—”

“Sneak out of the house!”

“Go to a party.”

“And,” I say, not getting my hopes up yet, “maybe I can still film for my documentary? We’d get Trevor’s approval, of course—I mean, after the fact. This could be a surprise for him.” The final act of the documentary will turn into a behind-the-scenes type thing, but watching first-person footage being filmed and then interviews about/with Trevor could totally seal the deal on this thing.

He nods, a grin wide on his face.

My smile matches his now.This is the heart! This is it!Things will be okay for both of us and what I did was the right thing in the end—this would mean so much more to someone than just winning or buying a headset. And if the doctors are optimistic, then I will be, too. It’s not like I’m using him.

“When we’re done and you see how happy Trevor is, you’ll forget all about tonight.”

His blue eyes meet mine and a shiver goes down my back. “Not all of it, hopefully.”
