I grumble, pulling away after unconsciously pecking Jaxson on the cheek, "come on, the others are waiting to leave."
I start to leave to the exit, but Jaxson whispers my name, "Nieve..." I stop and turn around to meet his eyes. I pause in shock, my heart running wild in my ears just watching the soft smile displaying on his lips.
"Promise you'll come back to me after this."
Promise? I can't make that promise because I don't know where this road ends.
"I promise," I didn't even mean to say it. Jaxson's smile knocks the breath from my lungs. I want to come back to it - I want to see it every day from now. I want to be its cause - it's so genuine.
