Chapter 47

• When Aiden stared at me, his eyes going wide, it made my heart beat faster breath hitch. For a second, I couldn't believe that those words slipped past my mouth. A blush tinted my cheeks, hot and red, as I tried to avert my eyes from his handsome face. 
• The feeling was so overwhelming, melting my insides. Aiden asked me to go shopping with him and even let me get whatever I wanted from the never ending aisles. Just to appease him, I threw random items in the cart. 
• I have never been able to switch off my brain—a habit that's been awful as a child, loud and brash and unable to stay still with my mind providing a constant stream of thoughts. The sole reason I continued to get into trouble, mostly because I hadn't been able to keep my mouth shut, hadn't been able to keep these thoughts to myself. It's unsettling, honestly.
