“I bet it’s a surprise trip. I feel like guys like Elio love to plan surprise trips,” Anna babbled next to me as we walked side by side down the steps of the lecture hall we had been in.
Sometimes I wondered if she was almost as invested in my relationship as I was. Maybe I’d have to find a mafia man for her… surely Elio had a single friend or two.
“I don’t know if it’s a trip,” I said. “He knows I have class and everything.”
If I was honest with myself, I’d have admitted that it had been torture to go to classes all day and wonder what big surprise Elio had planned for me, but I knew he would make the anticipation worth it. He always made things worth the wait. Hell, our entire relationship had been worth the wait.
“Maybe it’s like a ridiculous present, like a car or something! He seems like the kind of guy who would totally just buy you a car.”
