Eighteen and love is in the air: A Valentine’s Day Chapter
Lex
Today was our birthday and the day we turn eighteen. Ma and Dad threw us a party to celebrate. Maverick and Major could finally ask my sisters out.
Only there was one slight snag. Larkin shut down her feelings, and Luna kept Major at arm’s length. Both refused to open for fear of not having their feelings reciprocated or rejected.
While the rest of us basked in love at the party, they dealt with Maverick and Major.
Larkin was in the kitchen getting something to drink when Maverick came in. /"Hey./"
/"Hey,/" Larkin said.
/"Look, I know a few weeks ago things were rough, but they’re better, right?/"
/"Better than they will ever be./" She sighed.
Maverick walked over to her until he was close to her.
/"Maverick?/"
/"Yeah?/"
/"Don’t./"
/"Don’t what?/"
