-Caspian Grayson:
This feels good.
Not just in a passing, temporary way—something softer than that, something quieter. Like for once, I made a choice that doesn't immediately feel like it's going to collapse under its own weight the moment I stop looking at it too closely.
Letting Kyle in… Giving him a chance to show me how good this could be. Letting myself stay in this and enjoy it, even after everything I know about how things like this usually end for someone like me… Being with Kyle feels different. It feels right in a way I don't fully understand yet.
And that's exactly what scares me.
Because "right" is not something I trust easily anymore.
Still, I'm walking.
Back toward my room to bring the books so that I can go back to Kyle's bedroom and spend the rest of the day with him.
