"Straight to the important questions ay?
βAlways; you know me. I cut to the chase,β Candice laughed, though smiling as Val talked about her fun with Warren Hunter. The girl lookedβ¦ happy - happier than she had been with her exes who turned out to be, as per usual, a$$holes.
A smile reached her lips again - more than she had been doing over the past few weeks - as Val revealed her βsecretβ was safe with her. Which, was never a question. The two of them knew almost everything about each other and Candice trusted the girl with her life.
βJust remember I love you, youβre strong and amazing and this is just another bump in the road you can go through and move onβ¦ okay,β
Candice stuffed her face in the girlβs shoulder and nodded. "And you too, Val, I know I canβt text you 24/7 anymore but know that I love you and I will sneak my @ss out to punch Calen or anyone else who gives you trouble - just say the word.
After a few moments, Candice pulled away and took a deep breath. βI should get down there before my mom catches you in here. Iβllβ¦ hopefully, see you soon,β Candice laughed as she walked towards the door - leaving the only person whoβs made her feel normal in weeks.
