Chapter Sixteen

Sophie groaned. Is it bad that I don’t know?

No, Fitz assured her. But how long have you known for sure?

''Well, I think I realized that I did when he woke up. But… I think I liked him before that. Just, like, without realizing?''

Fitz nodded. But when Sophie didn’t say anything, he said, It’s kinda weird to think that that means you liked him subconsciously while me and you were still dating.

Yeah, it is, Sophie agreed, not sure what else to say. Sorry.

''No, it’s not your fault. Keefe’s a great guy, and I’m happy for you.''

Sophie felt a smile stretch her lips. Thanks.

Anytime.

“We’re done now, Tiergan,” Fitz said.

Tiergan looked at Fitz, then at Sophie. “Good. How’s your trust?”

They both thought about it for a second, before Sophie said, “Better than ever.”

Because it was true. Sophie felt like she could tell Fitz pretty much anything and both of them would still be friends. She wondered why she had never felt that way before, because Fitz was a great person. He just had a few problems, but so did everyone. Plus, Sophie’s own problem, being too secretive and not wanting to involve people, had contributed to their breakup. It wasn’t all Fitz’s anger’s fault, or Sophie’s own issues’ fault. But Sophie felt much more open with Fitz now that they were just friends, and she wondered why that was. But she didn’t say anything, not wanting to turn the moment awkward.

“Good,” Tiergan said. “Especially since your session is almost over. Also, I’ve been wondering-have the two of you reached the point of trust where you don’t have to share everything? It’s okay if you haven’t, but I’ve wondered if you had.”

“What do you mean?” Sophie asked.

Tiergan turned to her. “There’s a point of trust where you trust someone so much that you don’t have to share everything. You trust the other person so much that you know they’d never hide anything you needed to know from you, meaning you can still keep secrets.”

Sophie immediately thought of not sharing about her biological parents.

“I think so,” Fitz said, and Sophie nodded.

They had. And it was really nice.
