Jefferey reached over, brushing a loose strand of hair from my face.

We’ve got the house.”We ended up sprawled across the living room floor an hour later, the lights dimmed low, the curtains half-drawn. A bowl of chocolates sat between us, wrappers already piling up like evidence of bad decisions.“Girls’ night it is then” I said. Layla squealed.“Aurora—girls’ night!” she shouted, already bouncing on her toes.I laughed, the sound surprising even me, and dropped my bag where it landed. Before I could say anything else, Layla grabbed my wrists and spun me ar

It lands with a soft, careless thud—like the punctuation mark at the end of a long, exhausting sentence. Layla looks up from the kitchen doorway, one eyebrow lifting. “You okay?” “Define okay,” I murmur, already drifting toward the warmth. The kitchen feels like a hug. Golden light spilling from under the cabinets. A plate of cookies resting on the counter, cracked and imperfect, still breathing out sweetness.

The room was still wrapped in night—shadows clinging to the walls, moonlight slicing thin silver lines across the ceiling—but my body felt like it had been set on fire and forgotten.My sheets were tangled around my legs.Warm.Too warm.
