Lying there in the darkness, I felt the warmth of Ciara's body close to mine, her arms gently around me. But the truth was, I hadn't been asleep at all. I'd been pretending this entire time, every word she whispered, every little movement, I'd heard it all.
I didn't know whether to laugh or bury my head deeper into the pillow from embarrassment. When Ciara had lifted me earlier and carried me to her room, I had to bite my lip to keep from giggling like an idiot.
And then, when she kissed my forehead so softly, the butterflies in my stomach were relentless. But what really got me was her conversation with Leora.
Leora. Of all the people to pop in and tease us, it had to be her. I almost lost it when she joked about us getting married.
