Chapter 128 Lead The Way

The lines on Ben’s forehead fade. I like it when he calls it a superpower. “If you don’t want to do it, I’m here. If you want to do it, I’m still here. I’ll always be here. But I really think you should give it a go.” His lips brush mine as if to seal his promise. I hug him. I’ll be fine. “Alright, we need to go up.” His excitement rubs off on me as we exit the car. Ben’s talking so much at once about this place, its proximity to NYU, the mobility. It is perfect for his parents and Asher. We stop in front of the elevator and I kiss him to silence him. His cheeks flush and his eyes crinkle.
