Wren’s pov

“You’re not interrupting anything,” I said, way too fast, already on my feet and halfway to the stairs before Emily could open her mouth again.

I didn't look back at Dani. I couldn't. Whatever had almost happened on that couch was still sitting in my chest, and I didn't trust my own face to hide it.

In my room, I sat on the edge of my bed and just breathed for a second. I'd never find out now, not with Emily standing there like she'd been summoned specifically to ruin it.

    Wren’s pov“You’re not interrupting anything,” I said, way too fast, already on my feet and halfway to the stairs before Emily could open her mouth again.I didn't look back at Dani. I couldn't. Whatever had almost happened on that couch was still sitting in my chest, and I didn't trust my own face to hide it.In my room, I sat on the edge of my bed and just breathed for a second. I'd never find out now, not with Emily standing there like she'd been summoned specifically to ruin it.My phone buzzed. Ross. I'd completely forgotten I'd left him at the club.I picked up. “Hey.”“Where the hell are you?” His voice came through sharp, rushed. “I turned around for two seconds and you were just gone. I've been calling you for an hour.”“I'm home. I'm fine.”A long breath on the other end. “You scared me, Wren. I thought something happened.”“I'm sorry. Theo found me. He brought me home.”“Of course he did.” There was a pause, and then I heard it, a girl's voice in the background, light and l

    Wren’s povI was already moving before I'd fully decided to, drink sloshing in my hand, the music pounding in my ears. I made it three steps toward the exit before I turned right back around and pushed through the crowd toward him instead.Theo's eyes widened the second he spotted me, surprise and something like an alarm crossing his face. “Wren…”I didn't let him finish. I tipped my drink straight over the girl's head, watching it splash down through her hair and onto her shoulder, her shriek cutting through the noise around us.“We just got together,” I said, voice shaking with something between fury and tears, “and you're already cheating on me?”“Wren, it's not what you…”I was already turning, already walking, weaving fast through the crowd with my eyes stinging. Behind me I heard him apologizing rapidly to the girl, then his footsteps coming after me, calling my name over the music.I made it outside into the cool night air before he caught up, his hand closing around my arm.“W

    Wren’s povMy alarm went off like it had a personal vendetta against me, and in my attempt to slap it into silence, I forgot the distance between my hand and the nightstand and ended up on the floor instead, tangled in my own sheet.I stayed there. The floor wasn't so bad, really.The door opened a moment later. “Are you dead?” Ross's voice was far too amused. “Possibly.”“Get up.” He crossed the room and hauled me upright by both arms like I weighed nothing, setting me back on my feet. “We're going out today.”“I have plans already.”“You have no excuse. You already promised me.”“I genuinely don't recall promising you anything.”He folded his arms and stared at me, unmoving. I stared back. Neither of us blinked for an uncomfortably long stretch of time.I caved first. “Fine. Fine! What did I supposedly promise?”“You'll see.”“That's not an answer.”“It's the only one you're getting.” He grinned. “Get ready.”I rubbed my eyes and asked, “Where's the wench?”“Are we talking about Emi

    Wren povTheo didn't let go of my arm until we were outside, the cafeteria noise fading behind us, swallowed up by the wind and the wide grey sky.“Where are we going?” I asked.“You'll see.” He guided me toward the car park, his hand steady at my elbow like he thought I might bolt or fall apart, possibly both. “Get in.”I got in.He drove without saying much, just glancing at me every so often like he was checking I hadn't dissolved into the seat. The radio played low, something instrumental.The ice cream place had more flavors than I knew what to do with, a whole wall of tubs behind glass, and Theo stood there studying them like he was choosing stocks.“Pistachio,” he finally said to the girl behind the counter. “And whatever she wants. Two scoops, her choice.”“Cookies and cream,” I said. “And the strawberry.”We sat outside on a bench with our cones, and the evening had gone soft and golden in that particular way it did right before the sun started its real descent. Theo finished

    Dani’s POVI couldn't focus on a single word the lecturer said.You already know the answer to that question. Wren's voice kept looping in my head. I stared at my notebook without writing anything in it.Behind me, a few rows back, Emily was giggling with her new circle of friends. I didn't turn around.The second class ended, I shoved my notes into my bag and pushed out of the lecture hall faster than I should have, my head still aching faintly if I moved too quickly. I scanned the hallway but I didn’t see who I was looking for.I spotted Ryan instead, leaning against a pillar near the stairwell, scrolling through his phone.“Did you see Wren?” I asked, already out of breath.Ryan glanced up. “No. Why, you miss her?”“I think I really messed up.” I dragged a hand through my hair. “I think I've actually fallen for her, and I don't know how to fix what I did.”“Keep an eye on Emily,” Ryan said, not even looking up from his phone, like it was the most obvious advice in the world.“I thi

    Wren’s POVI woke up to Anna already dressed, sitting cross-legged on her bed scrolling through her phone.“You're taking forever,” she said without looking up.“I'm moving at a completely normal speed.” I pulled my sweater over my head and grabbed my bag. “Some of us actually need to brush our hair.”“Some of us also need to not be late.” She was already at the door, keys in hand, tapping her foot with theatrical impatience.We walked onto campus together, and the first thing I saw was Emily, surrounded by a cluster of girls near the steps, laughing at something with her head tipped back like she was performing it for an audience. I looked away before she could catch my eye.Then I saw Ross, already crossing the courtyard toward us with his hands in his pockets.“Morning,” he said, falling into step beside me. “How'd you sleep?”“Terribly.” I rubbed my eyes. “Anna snores like a freight train.”“I do not,” Anna said immediately, indignant.“You absolutely do.”Ross wasn't looking at m

    Wren’s povI blinked. “What?”“Take it off.” He reached past me and grabbed my arm leading me sideways to an empty room and shut the door behind us.“Blake.” I stepped back from him. “I cannot take it off, or have nothing to wear.”“I don’t care.”“I have a few more classes to attend, you don’t exp

    Wren’s POV Blake sat with a smile on his face, patient and completely at ease with himself. I looked at him with my jaw wide open. Maria had frozen beside him the money she heard his words, even she must have thought it to be crazy.“Well?” Blake tilted his head. “I’m waiting.”“You’re out of your

It’s not like we would have anything reasonable to say.Lunch time finally came and Ross was already at our usual table with a tray of food he had clearly loaded for both of us. Something he was

    Wren’s povI woke up with a headache that made my eyes ache, I stayed quietly, lying on my bed feeling nothing and struggling to recall what had happened the previous night when it hit me suddenly. From the kiss to the fight, the car ride and me blurting that shit right in front of Ross and hoping
