“What do you think he was right about?” Gideon asked. “What did he say to you?”


“He said that she needed somebody who could understand her, and understand what it’s like to be an empath. He said that she needed somebody who can give her the attention she needs.” Jesse flipped the faucet off and plugged in the kettle.


He waited for the punch line, but it looked like Jesse was done talking. “And who says that someone has to be her lover?”


“That someone should be who she wants to share her life with,” Jesse said softly.


“But what if she wants that person to be you?” Gideon pressed. “You’re not even giving her the option by not talking to her.”


“Gideon, I have no reason to believe she wants me to give her the option. God, you get something in your head and you just will not let it go. Which, I admit, is attractive when you’re not trying to wear me down. But now? It’s just really aggravating.”
