Chapter 12

“Not bad,” she said. “So who are we sending this to?”

Before she could do something on my phone that would reveal more than I wanted, I snatched it away. “We’re not.” I shoved my phone in my back pocket, then realized too late that wouldn’t stop her from grabbing it if she really wanted.

She regarded me with a finely arched brow. “Then all of this was because…?”

“Just because.”

Dez didn’t believe me. It was written all over her face. And frankly, if there was anyone I thought I could trust coming out to, it was Dez, which was more than a little bizarre since we’d only just met. Well, maybe not that bizarre. She had confessed to dating girls most of the time. She likely already knew and was giving me every opportunity to come clean.

But she didn’t press, and it made me like her all the more. She sent me home with a bag full of hair products and a firm request to call her the upcoming weekend.
