I took a deep breath. "While I was there, a lot of things happened."
He nodded. "Yeah. You hooked up with Alexis."
"No. Not just that."
He shoved his hands into his pocket. "What?"
"You know how I cry clear tears?"
He reached out and gently swiped away a tear on my cheek. He looked at it and showed me the clear drop.
I hadn't shaken my desire to breathe, and I took in a deep breath and held it. "I found answers down there."
His posture changed and his expression grew serious. "Did you find out why this is happening to you? I thought it was…us."
