Chapter 26 First Love I

• I rolled away and Elio followed. His arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me to his chest. I turned around and he opened his arms and waited for me to nestle in before closing them around me as I buried my face in his chest, drifting away. I kicked and flipped the blankets away and he pulled them back, tucking them around us. He kissed my hair many times and buried his face in it.
• “Elio, sleep,” I groggily moaned out, sleep drawing me back into its cocoon and I was just fighting it.
• Elio kissed the crown of my head.
