I reached forward and heldpassed between us, but I was so emotional that I had no idea what it was But it was there And it was electric Like a shock

I angled his Henley over h My chest rose and fell, faster than I’d like, and I kept my eyes lowered as I pulled out led ends, afraid to look up

A heartbeat passed And then another

“Better?” he asked, his voice low

I nodded His shirt was still warm and it smelled like him Fresh and clean and just…Trevor

Several longmoments where the quiet faded away and the crickets ue echoes of those at the drive-in, but here in this s andheart

I kneatching me, but I kept my eyes averted, still too afraid to let him see as inside theaze would rip apart my defense shield And that little bit of defense was all that was keeping ht now

“Do you want to talk about it?”

My bottom lip trembled Shit Get hold of yourself, Everly

I shook my head and exhaled slowly

Trevor took a step so that he was beside ainst h the branches at the stars that twinkled over us

I followed his gaze and relaxed into the bark once more, this time with the added barrier of Trevor’s shirt The silence enveloped us, and we both let it It was just easier so luhtness in

“There’s going to be a blue moon this month”

Wow I’ line?
