"Hi," I answered and I thought all over again that Elio was wrong, because Eddie wasn't looking at me like I was just his friend anymore. He was, of course, and I was, but there was something more. He was out of breath, too, like he'd hurried to come see me.
I grinned at him, feeling stupid and happy, like I'd felt with Sal, and I had known before that I had a crush on Eddie, but now that we'd kissed, it was blossoming into something more than that.
"Um," I said, still grinning as I stood up and approached him. I wanted to kiss him, but I didn't know if I could. I didn't know if we would want the workers at the Home to know. I put my hand on his bike instead, then inched it over bit by bit until my fingers were touching his. "I was looking for you. I forgot I could text you."
