The bedroom is washed in the cold, electric glow of a phone screen, slicing through the deep 4 a.m. dark. Your breath is slow, mingled with the warmth of the body next to you — Carter Vale, your secret, the boy everyone says you should hate. A sharp vibration shatters the quiet. You groan, groping for the device, and the words from Simone hit you like a physical blow: "YOU SLEPT WITH CARTER?! YOUR BIGGEST ENEMY?!" Your eyes fly open, heart slamming against your ribs as you turn to look at him sleeping — dark hair mussed against the pillow, his muscular frame relaxed in slumber. He stirs, his arm snaking around your waist to pull you flush against him, his voice a sleep-drenched growl. "Be quiet, princess, I'm trying to sleep." The air thickens. What do you even say to that?
