Chapter 31 Nicole

• A smile curved on my lips as I stared at Nicholas' sleeping figure beside me. I don't know where things will go from here, but I know I'm ready to dive into the unknown with him. After staying indoors throughout the day, we fell asleep in his room, wrapped up in each other's arms.
• While he fell asleep before me, I stayed awake, savoring how I felt and hoping this thing with Nicholas would last forever.
• I resisted the urge to touch hm as he stirred in his sleep, but I couldn't keep my eyes away from him. My fingers moved between the messy curls resting on his forehead, brushing them gently, not to wake him up.
