Love, Anonymous
EverlarkCatoniss
"Why what?" He asks. "Why you're being so nice to me," I say quietly, vulnerability seeping into my words. "How we even became friends." He sighs, "I want to know how."I scrunch my brow.

The quick exhale of breath coming from his nose was a probable chuckle as he murmured back to me: “That’s the point.”
