Rule Six: Full disclosure
Fudge knuckles.
She knew that tone of voice. He was holding onto his patience by a thread.
And she wasn’t going to snap that last piece.
“It doesn’t matter,” she told him.
“I want to know, Blossom. And you will tell me. Remember rule two.”
Rule two was honesty.
She bit her lip. “We’ve had this conversation. Honesty doesn’t mean that I have to tell you everything. It just means that when I do tell you something, it needs to be the truth.”
“Fine,” he muttered, typing something on his phone.
Faith groaned. She should have known. Her own phone buzzed in her hand.
“Read your text, Blossom.”
She shook her head. Nu-uh. No. That was it. She was putting her foot down. No more rules.
“Faith. Read. Your. Text. Now.”
Crap.
Okay, so she wasn’t strong enough to fight that tone of voice. With a grumble, she opened her text message.
Rule Six: Full disclosure.
“And does this rule go both ways? Are you going to tell me everything?” she challenged.
He leaned back against the seat of the car. “What would you like to know?”
All right, that was unexpected. She swallowed heavily. What did she want to know? Everything? Too much?
She couldn’t decide where to start.
“I . . . I don’t know yet. But I’m sure I’ll think of something.”
“When you do, then you can ask me. But right now, I want to know what he said.”
She huffed out a breath. “This is setting a bad precedent.”
“Faith.”
Shoot. The fact that he used her first name told her that he wasn’t messing around.
“Do you really want full disclosure on everything? What about when I have a tummy ache? Or when I need to use the bathroom? Or . . . or . . . when I have an itchy foot?”
“Yes.”
That was all he said. Just ‘yes’.
“Fine,” she groaned. “After you got up, he leaned over and said that I’d put on a good show, and it was too bad that I didn’t get to come.”
Faith hunched her shoulders, feeling that same feeling of shame creep through her.
