- Lucy -

I opened my eyes when she peeked in my room.

“Hey,” Fiona whispered, tilting her head. “I didn’t mean to wake you.”

“You didn’t.”

“I just wanted to see if you were home.”

“I’m home.”

She held a glass through the crack in the door. “Orange juice?”

My smile crushed against the pillow. “Please.” I sat up as she entered the room and rubbed my eyes. “What time is it?”

“Noon,” she said, climbing onto my bed and handing me the juice.

“Thanks.”

“When did you get home last night?”

“I didn’t,” I said, draining half the glass and handing it back to her. “I came home around six.”

“From…?”

“Aiden’s.”

I could tell she was trying to act calm, but it was clear I wouldn’t get away with evading her for long.

“Did you have a fun date?” she asked.

I propped my pillows up behind me and leaned back. “Too much fun.”

“Where did you go?”

I yawned. “Some trendy rooftop restaurant where they gave us six courses of really posh food.”

“Sounds nice.”

“It was.”

“And then what?”

“Then we went back to his place for a nightcap.”

“Just a nightcap?”

I shook my head.

“Lucy, I know you just woke up, but I’m dying here.”

I dragged my nails through my hair.

“Did something happen? Did he kiss you again?”

“He sure did,” I said.
