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
NovaI was paralyzed outside Dominic’s door when all of a sudden his voice sounded closer, like he was moving toward me.“Okay, great. Let’s discuss this more later. I have to get going.”I didn’t want to be caught eavesdropping, so I quickly rapped on his door as if I’d just arrived here. Dominic o

Nova“Nova, I missed you!” Aria, who had been hiding in the back seat, suddenly bounced forward. “I missed you so much that I begged my daddy to pick you up for your first day!”For a moment, I just stared at the father-daughter duo in the car. Dominic looked somewhat begrudging as he waited for me
