"You’re worth it" He runs his knuckles down my cheek "Hey, what happened to the pink?"

I frown at the change of subject, not understanding what he means and then I remember; my hair "It’s not permanent It’s this hair chalk stuff that I can paint my hair with, and then it washes out"

"Oh, that’s cool" His hand glides up ets up toany underwear?"

"I rarely do" I shrug

"So, no pajamas and no underwear" He ss hard, clenches his eyes shut, and swears under his breath His hand has stilled on my hip like he’s afraid to move it
