Chapter 52

• I have to say, I was caught off guard when Brant wrapped his arms around me, tilting my head so I had no choice but to look straight into those gorgeous hazel eyes—the ones that always manage to pull me in, make me forget what I was even thinking, and lose myself.
• I came here to tell him how I feel. I’d rehearsed it over and over in my head, but with his arms around me like this, my mind went blank. The words I’d prepared scattered like leaves in the wind. My heart was thudding, my palms damp. What do I even tell him? What if he doesn’t feel the same way? And yet… What if he does?
• Before I could say anything, he let me go.
