Everything had happened so quickly after that: Dominic’s reaction to my dress, the start of the ball, Aaron’s arrival. This felt like the first real
NovaAaron looked around the ballroom as he entered, his gaze naturally come to rest on me. His lips parted, and his hand came to rest on his heart, like he was making sure it was still beating.“I don’t care whether or not we like him,” Colby leaned down to whisper in my ear. “That is the correct r
