"having a little extra to eat for lunch today?" stephen asked as he slid into the seat beside me, kissing me on my cheek swiftly.
i stopped chewing my bite of sandwich. i wanted to say something. but i couldn't think of a single thing to tell him.
stephen didn't seem to notice. he just launched into conversation with his football buddies, winking at one of the girls across the table from him.
i packed up my lunch, shoving it deep into my bag.
then i joined in on the conversation, smiling widely at stephen.
even though it hurt.
