IVY'S POV Liam’s head was on my shoulder. Warm… and heavy. He was completely out. Breathing slow and steady. Definitely not faking it. I’m pretty sure he was really tired. I moved some hair out of his face and he kinda huffed, then leaned in closer. I smiled, shook my head, looked back at the movie playing – She’s the Man. I wasn’t even following the movie anymore. Just felt him there, leaning on me, breathing. Then the credits came on, and yeah, I noticed it was late. I turned toward the doorway and just… froze. Liam’s mom was there. Leaning on the frame. Smiling like she already knew what she was seeing. My face instantly went hot. I didn’t know if I should wake him or just… I don’t know… disappear. “Liam,” she said softly, walking in. He stirred, blinked, looked at me, then at her. “It’s late,” she said. “You should take Ivy home.” “Oh, no, I can get home myself,” I said, but they didn’t even look at me. Liam stretched, grabbed his jacket, and just went, “Let’s go.”
