Kristin Rae Quote
Going?I smile and wait for her to remove her hand before I answer. Just meeting up with a friend. Friend. There, I said it. Must be real now. Darren and I are friends.Her expression dampens a little. Not with Bruno?No. He already took me out on his boat this morning.She flashes me her teeth. He likes you.My heart thumps like I’m standing on the edge of something very high with a long way to fall. Did he tell her that, or is this mom-talk?I see the way that he looks at you.My shoulders relax. It’s just mom-talk, which is completely biased and off the mark…half the time. It’s that other half that’s going to eat at me and make me analyze every look from here on out. More than I already do, I mean.She pats my cheek again. There is a place for you here. Always. And with that bomb, she shuffles into her bedroom and shuts the door.
