Simon looks back at me. “Is that why you said ‘yes’?”

I nod. “I meant it. If you want me to.”

When Simon doesn’t respond, I skim my hand from his jaw to the trickle of blood sliding down his cheek. “May I listen to what you’re thinking right now?”

His mouth twitches. “If you’re sure you want to know.”

“I do.”

He doesn’t resist as I push my fingers over the bruise on his head and into his hair. For a long moment I close my eyes and listen. When I open them, he’s watching me with something like hope. I smile. “I want the same thing.”

Simon pulls my hand away, breaking the connection, but barely a second later his mouth is on mine, and I don’t need blood to know what his answer is.
