Page 22 of P.S. I'm Still Yours
I’m almost done with my song.
Excitement soars in my chest. He’s been working on the same song for the past month, but he refuses to show me. All I know is the title.
I’m Still Yours.
Hadley
Does that mean you’re finally going to show it to me?
Kane
It’s not ready yet.
Hadley
I swear you’ve been saying that for like a century and a half. At this rate, I’ll STILL be begging by the time my birthday rolls around next week.
Kane
Well, then, maybe it’ll be your birthday present.
Hadley
OR you could show me now.
Kane
Easy there, Little Miss Impatient. Last I checked, you won’t show me your new painting either.
He has a point.
In all fairness, the painting I’m working on is very special to me. It’s the first time I’ve ever attempted to paint a person instead of an object or scenery. And it’s not finished—not even close—but it inspires me.
Kane inspires me.
I can only hope that he won’t be weirded out once he realizes the person I’m painting is him.
I’ve kept the painting covered up until now, but I’m always afraid he’s going to look at it when I’m not there.
Hadley
Fine, I’m sorryyy. I’m just so impatient.
Kane
Don’t be. I’m impatient, too.
Hadley
About what?
His next message makes my heart skip a beat.
Kane
Seeing you tonight.
Two words.
