"Good thing for you, I do."
We're teasing but I can feel the truth in the words. It shouldn't feel profound, something as simple as caring about another person's satisfaction, but it does.
I feel the same way I do before I step on stage— nervous and excited.
I haven't felt like that around a woman since I was a teenager.
Piper is a teenager. Nineteen but that's still firmly teenager. I remind myself that this can't happen, but that doesn't do shit to wipe away the excitement in my chest.
