Buongiorno a tutti!
Sto leggendo davvero poco in questi mesi, quindi trovare un libro da cui tirar fuori un Teaser non è così semplice. Per fortuna nei mesi precedenti avevo fatto una bella scorpacciata di libri e sono andata a recuperarne uno che mi era piaciuto parecchio. Crossroads è un libro che si legge in fretta e mi è piaciuto particolarmente come è scritto. Spero di incuriosirvi un po’ con questo Teaser e vi auguro una buona lettura!
Logically, he knew Bryce had a lot on his mind. He was hoping the reason Bryce hadn’t called was that he didn’t want to discuss things while Nick was working, but that didn’t stop him from thinking the worst.
He would just go to Bryce’s house when he got home. That’s all there was to it. Regardless of what happened, Nick needed to know the truth. They could tackle whatever happened head on, or they’d walk away, but at least Nick wouldn’t be in the dark.
A few minutes later he pulled into his driveway. As his lights moved across the garage, he saw Bryce leaning against it. He looked up when Nick parked and their eyes met.
Bryce looked a mess. Nick had never seen him like that before, and just like that, he fucking knew things were about to change. That whatever this was between them could be ending before they even had the chance to really see what it was.
Maybe that was for the better. Though, the weight on his chest didn’t feel like it would be better, and Nick couldn’t make himself move. Not until Bryce nodded toward the house, as if to tell Nick to come here.
He went.
“Hey,” Nick shoved his hands into his pockets.
“Hey,” Bryce pushed a hand through his hair. Great. They were both doing nervous gestures. That didn’t bode well. “Why are you standing out here?” Nick almost reached for him, but didn’t. He couldn’t read Bryce right now and wasn’t sure it was the right thing to do. They were skating a thin line together. In the bedroom, everything was great. Friendship-wise, it was fantastic. It was everything else they still had to figure out.
Bryce shrugged. “I just got home and figured I’d wait for you.”
Fuck it. If it was the wrong thing to do, so be it. Nick stepped forward, right up against Bryce, in the darkness of his driveway. The moon was bright, giving him enough light to make out some of Bryce’s features—the stubble on his face, the curve of his jaw. The frown on his lips and confusion in his eyes. “This okay?” he asked as he leaned close, one of his legs between Bryce’s and the other on the outside. Their bodies touched. Nick cupped his face.
“This is better.”
