CHAPTER 23: The Choice Between Us
Henry's POV
The next day, I called Camila to find out if she was at home.
When she answered the phone, her voice was wary.
"Hello?" she said.
"Camila, it's me, Henry," I said. "I just wanted to check in and see how you're doing."
"Oh... hi, Henry," she said, sounding surprised. "I'm doing okay, I guess. Just trying to get through the day."
"That's good to hear," I said, hoping to sound reassuring. "I just wanted to know if you are home so we can see each other and talk."
She hesitated for a moment, and I could almost hear her weighing her options.
"What do you want to talk about that you can't say on the phone…?"
I sighed. I knew she wasn't comfortable with me coming over, especially after what happened the last time I visited.
She had been tipsy, and I helped take her home. Then, unexpectedly, we ended up having sex again.
