She was right. This did have to stay between just the two of them because it could hurt her a lot, if anyone found out. Wes gave her hand a squeeze. "I promise you that I will not say a word about this...about us...to anyone. I know it's...a huge thing, on your end." He brought the back of her hand to his lips and kissed it. "I will not tell a soul. I swear."
He felt exhilarated, even if he did need a cold shower or something. Maybe walking outside in the cold would work the same way. Wes took a deep breath and ran a hand through his hair. "I'll, um, see you later then," he said, backing toward the door.
