Scarlett's POV

Scarlett was beginning to regret inviting Liam Morace to her house.

Not because she disliked him. That would have been easier to explain.

The problem was that she'd spent the last fifteen minutes wondering what he would think when he saw where she lived.

It wasn't that she was ashamed of her home. She wasn't. Her family had worked hard for everything they owned, and their little shop was something she was proud of.

But Liam lived in a different world.

A world of enormous ho

    Scarlett's POVScarlett had absolutely no intention of attending the school dance.She had made that decision two weeks ago, when the announcement first appeared on the school's noticeboard. She had assignments to complete, a book she was halfway through and a younger brother who seemed to have developed a sudden inability to do mathematics without her assistance.A school dance was nowhere near the top of her priorities.Unfortunately, Victoria disagreed."You're coming."Scarlett continued writing."No.""That wasn't a question.""Then it was a very unnecessary statement."Victoria pulled the chair beside her desk and sat down."Scarlett, it's our first school dance this term. Everyone is going.""Everyone can go.""You need to have fun.""I have fun.""Reading doesn't count."Scarlett looked up."According to whom?""According to people who have friends."She rolled her eyes.Victoria leaned closer."Please. Amara and Tessa are coming. We'll get ready together, take pictures and le

    Liam's POVLiam was halfway through breakfast when his father asked him a question."Are you planning to eat that?"He looked down at his plate."What?""Your breakfast. You've been staring at it for five minutes."Liam picked up his fork."I'm eating."Damien exchanged a glance with Louisa.Liam noticed."What?""Nothing," his mother replied, reaching for her coffee.He looked between them."Why are you both looking at me like that?"Damien smiled."Can't a father look at his son?""Apparently not without an investigation."His younger sister laughed from across the table."He's been strange lately."Liam turned towards her."Can you eat your food?""I'm just saying.""Nobody asked you to.""Children," Louisa interrupted, though she was clearly amused.Damien returned to his breakfast, but Liam noticed the small smile on his father's face.He knew that expression.His father had noticed something.And he was probably going to ask about it.---It happened a few minutes later."So, ho

    Liam's POV Liam hadn't expected to think about Scarlett's family shop as much as he did. It had been three days since he'd visited, yet he still remembered the way her mother had welcomed him, her father's easy conversation and her younger brother's surprisingly thorough interrogation. He also remembered Scarlett behind the counter. She had moved around the shop with an ease he hadn't seen at school. There, she was organised, determined and occasionally argumentative. At home, she seemed entirely different. Comfortable. Familiar. Like she belonged to every corner of the place. He'd liked seeing that side of her. Unfortunately, Marcus had noticed his distraction. "You're doing it again." Liam looked up from his lunch. "Doing what?" "Thinking." "Is that not allowed?" "Not when you're staring at your food like it personally offended you." Liam shook his head. Marcus leaned forward. "You're thinking about Johansson." "I'm eating." "You're thinking about Johansson while ea

Her family had worked hard for everything they owned, and their little shop was something she was proud of. But Liam lived in a different world. A world of enormous houses, private drivers and family businesses with their names on the buildings. She had seen enough of it to know. "You're doing that thing again." Scarlett looked up from her phone. Victoria was watching her. "What thing?" "Overthinking." "I'm not." "You've checked your phone six times." "I'm waiting for a response." "From who?" Scarlett gave her a look. Victoria's eyes widened. "Oh." "Don't." "Is it Morace?" "Victoria." "You're actually inviting him somewhere?" Scarlett sighed

    Liam's POVLiam had never been particularly interested in school rankings.He knew his grades were good. He knew he could do better when he put in the effort, and he knew his grandfather occasionally asked for his results during family gatherings.Beyond that, he didn't think about them much.Today, however, he found himself checking the clock every few minutes.Their project results were supposed to be announced during English, and Scarlett had been unusually quiet about it all morning.He found her outside the classroom, looking through her notes."You're going to wear a hole through that paper."She didn't look up."I'm revising.""For a presentation we've already given?""I'm checking something.""Again?"This time, she looked at him."Do you have a problem with preparation?""Not particularly. I just think you might be taking it a little far.""Some of us like knowing we've done our best."Liam leaned against the wall."And some of us know we've done our best."She gave him a fla

    Scarlett's Point Of View Scarlett had never understood why some people treated weekends as though they were a reward for surviving the school week.For her, Saturday usually meant catching up on assignments, helping around the house and making sure her younger brother didn't turn his homework into a family emergency.This Saturday was no different."Scarlett!"She closed her eyes briefly."What?""Come and check something!"She found her brother sitting at the dining table, his maths textbook open in front of him."What is it?""This question."She looked at the page."Which one?""Number seven."She pulled out the chair beside him."You haven't even attempted it.""I tried.""Where?"He pointed at the question.Scarlett stared at him."You underlined it.""Exactly."She laughed despite herself and picked up his notebook."Give me your pencil."For the next twenty minutes, she explained the question while he complained about how unnecessarily complicated mathematics could be.When he
