Cassie was happy, too. It was a feeling that scared her. She was afraid to trust it. She was afraid being with Charles would mess up her friendship with Chris. She was afraid it didn't mean the same thing to Charles as it did to her. Basically, she was just afraid of everything right now. She knew Bee was right. She knew she should talk to him, but she was also afraid that if she did, she would lose him. It just seemed so much easier to keep doing whatever they were doing.
"Oh, am I?" Cassie laughed at that. She knew how close the boys were and she knew neither of them REALLY needed a break from each other.
They continued to make small talk as they walked towards the car and Cassie smiled at him as she got into the passenger side.
