Chapter 12: Not Tonight

Carissa couldn't even begin to imagine what sort of information Bradley wanted in exchange for keeping his mouth shut about last night. Probably information about her and Danny, and that was the very last thing she wanted to talk about. With anyone. Not even her closest friends knew the entire truth of what transpired last year.

Unfortunately, or maybe luckily, Bradley never got the chance to question her because everyone crowded back into the living room, and Garrett restarted the movie. Carissa once again snuggled up next to Danny, though she couldn't deny she'd much rather be curled up in Bradley's arms.

She mentally smacked herself. What was wrong with her? She barely knew the guy, and she'd been in a relationship with Danny for almost a full year. She loved Danny. Yeah, they'd had their issues, but what couple didn't? Being able to overcome those issues was what mattered. Of course, lying to the man she claimed to love wasn't really helping the situation.
