Color Of Home – Lucia Laurence

I’d rather mess up by pushing too hard right now though than not pushing enough, so even though putting myself out there like I’m about to has my adrenaline spiking, I shake my head. “Nothing. Please stay? Let me be here for you.” His smile is enough to break me. Watery and sad, and he kind of looks like he’s about to cry again, but it’s a real smile as he nods.

“Yeah, I’ll stay.” He reaches out across the space between us and, just for one second, gives my hand a squeeze. My heart kicks against my ribs so hard, I swear it’s going to leave a bruise. 1kitap1.com/en I have no words to describe the havoc the last nine days have wrought on my heart. First, there was the surreal high of last Saturday.

The hike with Myles where I tricked myself into reading so much into his actions and looks that I’d set myself up for the perfect storm of heartbreak on Sunday when I’d stumbled across him and Rachel together in the woods. Then there’d been the dull, aching realization of how foolishly I’d allowed my hopes to run wild and the crappy reality of the fact that I needed to do what Gemma advised and give myself some distance from Myles. Not forever, but just while I licked my wounds and reminded myself of the fact that, while he will never, can never feel anything more than friendship for me, that isn’t the case when it comes to Rachel Beck.

Or whatever other women make their way into his life. Loving Myles and having his friendship comes at a cost. It may hurt like it’s going to shatter my heart, but it’s a price I’m willing to pay. And then there was Wednesday— The staff room, surrounded by every last one of my coworkers, is not a place I can let myself think about last Wednesday.

About Cyril— Biting my lip, I glance up at the ceiling, willing the tears back from my eyes. Myles gives me a soft nudge from the chair beside me. Checking.

Mostly before the age of ten. Like deciding to give myself a fabulous new haircut the night before third grade picture day. (Turns out I am not the gifted stylist I’d believed myself to be.) Oh, and the time I thought it would be okay not to tell my parents I was starting to feel super nauseous when they dropped me off at the coolest kid in school’s birthday party? It was in fact, very much not okay. In the last decade and a half though? Smooth sailing.

Post-ten-year-old Charles Lancaster has impeccable judgement, thank you very much. Until precisely six and a half weeks ago. Since then?
