"I know. But how do I figure this out?" She rested her chin on her hands and propped those up with her elbows on her knees. But her words weren't quite right, considering she wasn't the only one in this situation. "How do we figure this out?" Because Abi was right there with her, although their circumstances were slightly different.
"I thought about it." She picked at a piece of lint, trying not to blurt out everything. But then it came up anyway. Really, Juniper was not good at self-restraint about these matters. "He just makes me feel so weird. Like there's something inside me missing. When I saw the look on his face when he was running away? It was awful."
That wasn't all, though. "What if talking to him makes me, you know, lose me?" She rose up to look at Abi as well, turning even more serious. "I don't want someone else to take control of my body like Aphrodite does to you. It's horrible an invasive on so many levels. How can she do that to you?"
