Lily

I sank into the couch, still trying to calm my racing heart after the snake incident.

Even though my dad had handled it like it was nothing, I couldn’t stop glancing at Mason.

His hand lingered just a little too close to mine, his fingers brushing mine occasionally.

Every time it happened, I had to fight the urge to squeeze his hand, to lean into him, to let him know how much I wanted him.

But I couldn’t. Not here. Not with my dad in the apartment.

“Relax,” Mason whispered, leaning toward me with that smug little grin I hated and loved at the same time. “It’s over. No more snakes.”

I rolled my eyes. “Easy for you to say. You weren’t screaming your head off.”

He chuckled softly. “Screaming doesn’t suit you.”

I felt heat rise to my cheeks. He was joking, I knew that, but his gaze lingered a second too long.

That look, the one that made my stomach flip, the one that said he wanted me just as badly as I wanted him it was dangerous.

    Lily:My phone rang, waking me up before my alarm clock did, and I picked it up, thinking it was Mason.“Hey, baby…”“Baby?” My mom's voice came through the phone.I froze.“Mom? Hey, how are you?” I stood abruptly, wiping the sleepiness from my eyes.“I'm great my love. How are you?” she asked, in her usual soothing breathy voice.“Good, good,” I said with a smile.“How's Singapore?”“Oh, Singapore is lovely.

I really wish I could be there right now to spend time with you.”“Yeah, me too.”I smiled“How's Mason? I saw a picture of you both at the community center friendly match the other day…”My blood froze in my veins on hearing that.“What?” “I said as I saw a cute picture on the tabloids yesterday of you too looking so cute.

    Mason's Packing was always chaos, but it felt different this time. I kept stealing glances at Lily as she threw clothes into her suitcase, hair messy, lips slightly swollen from the night before at the bar. She had that tired-but-beautiful look that made it impossible to focus on anything else. “Do you really need three pairs of shoes?” I asked, holding up one of the boxes she’d tossed into her bag. She shot me a look over her shoulder. “I'm not leaving my shoes behind.” I chuckled, shaking my head. “You’re ridiculous.” “Hey,” she said, smirking, “I pack for survival, not for your approval.” We worked in silence for a few minutes, each of us trying not to step too close. But every time our hands brushed, my pulse jumped. I caught her looking at me more than once, that same little spark in her eyes that said she wanted me as badly as I wanted her. Her dad appeared behind her, holding a neatly folded stack of clothes. “Lily, here. Let me help,” he said. His tone was gentle, b
