Don’t Tell Our Parents
"Why didn't you?"
I looked back over my shoulder at Arlo, who was patiently waiting by our bags, and then looked back at Lael.
"Because..." I breathed out, the truth spilling out before I could stop it. "Because I think I have a crush on Arlo."
Lael stared at me, his mouth dropping open as his eyes widened in total shock.
"What?!" he blurted out, lowering his voice into a harsh whisper. "Are you serious right now, Valerie? You literally met the guy, what, five minutes ago? And you're already crushing on him?"
