CIARA
Seeing Noah at Jeremy's house, combined with the hug and the apology had been an unexpected surprise.
I had thought that maybe he finally realised what I had done, and that was why he was here. That maybe he finally missed me.
Ready to accept my apology and give me one of his own.
The relief that slammed into me as he wrapped me in his arms was more than I expected, but I allowed it all the same.
Noah was here. He was here for me.
Someone, that was all that mattered.
Maybe we would finally have the heart to heart Jeremy suggested. Put it all out there. See where the feelings and the confessions will get us.
But when Jeremy had dragged him out, when Noah left with my brother without a word, I knew something was amiss.
I just didn't know what.
A small part of me had wanted to stay put like my brother asked. Hell, that part had almost won.
