I didn’t like the idea of her doing that

In fact, I had this irrational urge to snatch her into my arms and tell her that she was mine, and I would keep her forever if I wanted to

“There’s also one that I have that not a single soul in the world knows about,” she whispered

Or, at least, she tried to whisper it

She wasn’t exactly acco feat

But she was trying, so she was getting participation credit

She rolled her head away froht my attention

“What’s that?” I asked

I really shouldn’t have asked her

Honestly, if I was a good o brush her teeth and go to bed and keep the rest of her secrets to herself before she spilled so she truly didn’t want me to know

Did I tell her that, though? Hell no Because I wanted to know all of her secrets And in time, she would know all of mine, too

“What is it?” I teased

She looked at me, and for the first ti intoa part of me that nobody ever saw

“I don’t want you to get mad at me,” she admitted

The way she isting her fingers through her hair let me know that she truly orried about what I would think of this secret

My head tilted “I don’t even know you, not really Hoould I getthat A, I don’t know, and B, happened before I knew you?”

She looked delightfully confused, which made me want to pull her into my arms

“Do you have a computer?” she asked, voice so quiet I barely heard her question

I frowned “Yes”

“Go get it I’ll wait here,” she ordered, snapping the fingers on her good hand with a jerky movement

It was the weakest sounding snap I’d ever heard

“I can’t bring it to you because it’s a desktop,” I told her, enjoying her boldness

“Well” She paused, her nose scrunching up cutely “Then bring me to the computer”
