Chapter 56: Confessions

‘Okay, fine, I’m scared. What if I’m not what you expect? What if I don’t know what I’m doing?’ Clara said cryptically. ‘How am I going to tell him I’m bad at relationships, maybe even sex? Wasn’t that the reason all my exes left me? I couldn’t satisfy their needs. What if I forgot how to do it? I can’t learn that on the internet, right, or maybe I could?’ Clara thought as her mind raced, finding reasons to push him away.

‘What do you mean? In terms of relationships? You think I know what I’m doing?’ Sebastian asks, amused that she was worried about such trivial things. He just wanted to wrap her in his arms and hide her forever. ‘Don’t you think I’m scared, too? What if I let you down? What if I’m not handsome enough for you,’ he jokes, trying to keep things light, ‘What if I can’t see you all the time? Will you grow tired of me? Will you replace me if I upset you?’ he said with less certainty in his voice.
