i’ve got an idea, he writes back.meet me at the studio at 5:30? will text details in the morning

If that won’t get me out of bed on time, I don’t know what will. Suddenly the crack of dawn can’t come soon enough.I’ll be there, I reply.

As I hit send, another text comes in, this one from Bre.Sooooooo when do I get to hear about Ransom at your place last night?Please tell me this was a date??! I wanted SO BADLY to ask you about it earlier

“Hey, Siri,” I say, as I dot my face with moisturizer. “Call Bre.”

Two seconds later, she picks up, laughing. “Aren’t you so proud of my restraint, Liv? It was so hard to sit there with all the secret things burning a hole in me. Also hi, how are you?”

I laugh, too, feeling lighter already. “Such a long day, but I’m good. Thank you for suffering in silence on my behalf!”

“So?” she says. “Is there anything you’d like to tell me, Liv Latimer?”

The question alone fills me with butterflies, like I might somehow ruin everything with Ransom just by talking about it—like if I say it out loud, it will become arealthing that’s happening. Real things have the tendency to fall apart.

Even so, I don’t think I can hold it in.

“It wasn’t a date,” I say, the words falling out of my mouth before I can stop them. “But it kind of felt like a date. And it’s possible he kissed me today in his trailer?”

She’s silent on the other end, for just long enough I start to wonder if I’ve made a huge mistake. “I’m sorry,” she finally says excitedly, if a little tentatively, “I thought I just heard you sayRansom Joel kissed you today.”

Now it’s my turn for silence—where to even begin?

“Liv.Liv. You’re serious right now? You and Ransom—really?! As in, real-life kissed you, not TV-kissed you?” Her smile is so infectious I can practically hear it through the phone.

“Really, really,” I say, and I can’t help it, I’m smiling now, too. I had no idea how different a kiss with Ransom could feel, just us, no scripts and no cameras. It was like we’d never done it before at all.

“We had the best time last night, Bre. Clearly, since we were bothlate this morning.” Heat floods my cheeks as soon as I say it because it sounds like we were doingmuchmore than falling asleep on the couch while watching a movie.

“Okay, okay, I’m gonna need you to back up to the beginning. I’m getting some popcorn, okay? This is amazing. Tell meeverything.”

I turn out my bathroom light and climb into bed, phone still on speakerphone.

So much for going straight to sleep tonight.
