Summary
Steve takes a long sip of his drink. Nat wonders if he’ll finish the whole thing in one draught. “Why do you…” he falters. “Why do you hurt yourself, Nat?”
Nat plays with the lid of her own cup. She takes a sip of her latte, but it tastes like chemicals and bitterness cloaked in saccharine. It’s a lie, just like she is. “I don’t know,” she says quietly. Overall, it’s the truth. She has theories, a lot of them. But she pinpoint the cause when all she can see is the effect. “Why do you want to know?”
“You really want me to tell you?” Steve looks at her, eyebrows raised, lines playing across his forehead. “Or you want me to make up something that makes sense?”
“I told you the real thing.” It’s hard not to throw in attitude. Especially since Nat knows that if she drops the sharp edge, her voice will bottom out completely. She already feels the burn behind her eyes.
