“Thank you for today, I didn’t realize how much I needed to get that out. Mike and Robbie lived it with me so none of us ever talk about it and no one else has ever asked before.” He balls up the wrapper from his sandwich and looks out over the lawn towards the building, but I don’t think he sees anything really.

He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me into his chest slowly, being extra cautious, but I let him. I wrap my arms under his and rest my cheek on his chest. He leans into my hair and inhales, then kisses the top of my head.

“You make it really difficult to move slowly, you know that?!” He chuckles into my hair and I smile.

“Sorry, occupational hazard of being the baby.”

“You are definitely not a baby, but I think you are definitely worth the wait.” He kisses the top of my head again and then lets me go. “Do you want me to walk you home? I feel like Mr. Overprotective does not need another reason to kill me.”
