My mind was running a thousand miles a second. Puzzle pieces that I'd previously thought to be a perfect fit were popping out of place, their mismatched tension finally breaking their tenuous connections.
Since discovering that Xavier wasn't Kay's unrequited love I'd been intentionally avoiding thinking about it. Nothing made sense anymore. It felt like the earth had been ripped out from beneath my feet.
Why did Kay kiss me that day if not for mistaking me for Xavier?
Part of me-- a stupid, delusional part of me --wanted to think he hadn't mistaken me for anyone. Each time I tried to entertain the idea I had to remind myself that was impossible. If Kay really were in love with me why would he be settling for a FWB relationship? He just wasn't the type to pine in silence.
Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.
Kay having feelings for me was impossible, which left something improbable.
