“Matthew,” he said softly, his tone devoid of the usual teasing. “Do you truly believe that? That you’re lost?”
I turned to meet his gaze, and for a moment, the rest of the world faded away. His eyes held a depth of understanding that both comforted and unnerved me. It was as if he could see through the layers of doubt and fear I tried so hard to conceal.
