So That Happened
by Katie Bailey
3,5 ⭐️
“How bad can it be? I’ll even take the bed closest to the door so I get murdered first.” I stare at her blankly and she adds, “you know, like in Schitt’s Creek.”
I guess I can safely assume that, like Taylor Swift, I'm about to be locked out of my own kingdom. The silver lining (because there's always a silver lining, no matter how thin and flimsy) is that I'm not the Kanye West of this particular scenario.
Annie smiles and moves to let me drape the jacket around her. She shivers when my fingers graze her shoulders, and I try to ignore the way my heartbeat picks up.
“Vulnerability is not about winning or losing, it's about having the courage to show up even when you can't control the outcome.”
“I’m not to be underestimated.”
“I could never underestimate you.”
“I like to take the scenic route.”
Annie’s lips twitch. “There is no scenic route.”
I run my eyes over her pink cheeks and glittering eyes. “There most definitely is.”
“I ran all the way here,” he explains with a grin. “I wanted to tell you that I was thinking about you. And I missed you. And to give you this.” He grabs my waist and tugs me toward him. He kisses me. Hard.
“All I want is what’s best for you. Always.”
“I think you might be what’s best for me,” I reply, drawing her closer still.
“I love you way too much to let myself become your biggest mistake.”
“It could never be a mistake to love you, Annie. Loving you is a privilege.”
But loving Liam Donovan has been the most perfectly imperfect journey of my life so far.
