"Alright." Kyle smiled at me. "We're alone, we're comfortable, and I am in a position to cuddle you if you need me to. Now, you can tell me everything."
"Are you really sure you want to know all of this about me?" I was giving him a chance to back out. I really hoped that he would take it. Even though I knew he needed to hear it, that didn't mean that I wanted to say it at all.
"Yeah, I'm sure." He nodded and smiled at me, urging me to start talking. "I'm all ears babe."
"Really? You look pretty normal for someone made completely of ears." It was a weak joke but it was my reflexive sarcasm that I used as both offense and defense. He just raised an eyebrow at me with a look that said he wasn't going to let me get out of this. "Damn tough crowd."
"I am just determined to keep you on track, sweetheart. I need to know this stuff, and who knows it might help you if you tell it to me."
"I doubt that." I sighed again.
