CHAPTER 105

KIERAN

"I want to know everything. Where were you when she called? Since when had she been drinking? How long has she been sleeping?" Archie asked, his voice soft in an attempt not to wake my sister up. 

He hadn't budged from her side since he arrived, and my suspicions was beginning to turn into affirmation.

"Hold up. Before I answer all of your questions, I need you to answer one of mine. Are you in love with my sister?"

The question sounded incredulous even to my ears, and I was expecting him to protest, to laugh off my ridiculousness and tell me I was being silly.

Archie did none of this. He looked straight into my eyes, unmoving, and spoke.

"So what if I am?"

"You are?! Since when? How did this happen?" I sputtered, unable to believe my ears.

"You are not the only one capable of falling in love, Kieran. And you said you were only going to ask one question. I answered yours, now answer mine."
