Chapter 139 The Sandwich

• Cade was still staring at his shoes. “Yeah,” he said. “Nothing. Sorry. And, you know, sorry about all the food. It’s a really nice gesture. Seriously. It would have been great for pretty much anyone but me. But… I’m the asshole.”
• And he turned and walked away. Aiden was left standing there with coolers sprouting out from every part of his body, watching the guy he was crazy about walking away. He wanted to do something drastic. What if he dropped all the food and ran after Cade? He could apologize and beg for another chance. Or something more subtle. He could go and find a banana and some peanuts and take them to Cade in the library. No conversation, no need for attention, just drop them off and leave.
• But that would still be distracting Cade from his studying. Still bulldozing over what Cade had told him.
