The Red String Between Us Part II: Frayed Threads

第10章 Interrogations

"So," my mom began, stirring her cup far too casually, "you didn't mention you were... seeing anyone."

"I'm not," I said quickly. Too quickly.

My dad raised an eyebrow over his paper. "Funny. He looked like someone who wants to be more than 'not anyone.'"

I groaned. "Dad."

My mom leaned forward, grinning. "Eden, he's handsome. Polite. And the way he looked at you? Come on. There's something there."

"There's nothing there," I lied, ignoring the way my heart sped up at the memory of almost kissing him. "It was just dinner."

"And what type of dinner was it?" my mom teased. 

I buried my face in my coffee cup, wishing I could disappear.
