I reached across the table and took her hand.

“She asked me something else.”

Luna looked at me.

“What?”

“If you were my girlfriend.”

Her eyebrows lifted.

“And what did you say?”

“I told her to put her sock on.”

Luna stared at me for half a second before she laughed.

“Ellis.”

“She had one sock on.”

“That wasn’t what she asked you.”

“I know.”

“You avoided a six-year-old.”

“I was trying to get her to school.”

“Sure.”

I rubbed my thumb across her hand.

“She wasn’t wrong, though.”

The laughter faded from Luna’s face.

“No?”

“No.”

I watched her for a second.

“We never talked about it.”

“We didn’t.”

“So.”

“So?”

I smiled.

“You gonna make me ask?”

Her mouth curved.

“Yes.”
