“Sophia looked shocked. “Why did you make me pinky swear, then?” She looked at her finger for a moment, as if it were damaged from our pinky-swearing moment. But then she shrugged, and I thought I saw a glimmer of approval in her dark eyes.
“Knows what?” He was going to pretend he didn’t know what I meant. Probably because he wasn’t one hundred percent sure and he didn’t want to let slip anything until he knew for sure I had spilled the beans.
So I said explicitly, “I told Sophia I write the column.”
Not even a hint of throbbing vein. He glanced at her with puppy dog eyes—blecch.“Cool. She won’t tell anyone. I know the secret’s safe with her.”
Sophia smiled at him. “Yes. Would you like me to pinky swear with you, too, Tyler?”
For a minute I thought he’d suggest they use tongues instead, since his was hanging out. But no, he wasn’t that far gone. Although, he held on to her pinky with his just a big longer than was necessary.
I’d been hoping for a scene.
