“Oooh, a waterfa\u2014what? No, Toni, pay attention to the road.” Summer combs her nails harder through the inoffensive lock of hair. Her stomach feels odd, vague fear swirling around in it. “What do you mean, I\u2019m not old? Not compared to the Captain, maybe, but I\u2019m still almost twice your age.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Toni shrugs and takes his hand off the wheel showing her it\u2019s on autopilot for the moment. \u201cYou\u2019re forgetting that if I\u2019m going by my date of birth, I\u2019m 35. I only look like this because dimensional rifts are a bitch and I\u2019m not allowed to go home. So, technically, my dear, I\u2019m about the same age as you.\u201d Placing his hands on the wheel, he lets out a breath of air. \u201cAnd if you\u2019re so hung up on your age, still, you should know that I don\u2019t care. Do you care that I\u2019m younger than you?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It’s not actually relevant, especially not for you. I think you’ve been adult since you were about twelve.” She draws in a deep breath. “My … concern … is how other people will see you. Or me. I don’t want you to get hurt.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
