The Game That Breaks Us (Us 3)

“Are you sure you want to live with me?”

When he asked me to move in with him for the summer, I was ecstatic. The thought of going home and being away from him for all that time sucked. My parents weren’t thrilled with the idea, but they didn’t hate Bennett—they were just struggling with letting go.

I bite my lip but my laughter still escapes. “Yes.”

“Even if I snore?”

“If you snore, I’ll just smother you with a pillow.” I shrug.

His laughter booms and I grin.

This is us.

We smile.

We laugh.

We fight.

We make up.

But most importantly we always love.

Because love … it’s everything.
