Chapter 10. His Anger

I wake with Lorenzo's body around mine. Today is the wedding. I know it will look weird when I leave, but I have no choice. Opening my eyes, he stares down at me.

"I won't see you once you leave until after they marry." His words are quiet, and I nod.

"It's only a few hours."

Sighing, he looks at me.

"Has something happened?" He looks defeated. It's a look I have never seen him have. He's always so fucking cheerful and acting like a fool.

"Tired, that's all." He looks at me like he's considering asking something, so I don't reply, I wait, but he doesn't talk.

"Lorenzo? You're worrying me." I push my body closer to him. He looks down and smiles at me, and it's that fucking goofy one that has me laughing.

"See, I'm fine." Kissing me, he laughs. "You know you can trust me, right? Whatever you're so worried about telling me, I won't look at you any differently or think of you badly." He stares at me, waiting.
