Chapter 87

• Lily's POV
• The space between us had long since crossed the line of safe social distance. His blazing hot hands suddenly gripped my blanket-wrapped arms, his fingertips burning through the thin cashmere, sending heat straight to my skin. His eyes were no longer the usual soft, clear eyes - they burned like two dark flames and were focused on me. That heat hit me like a punch in the chest and made my heart race and jump uncontrollably.
• "Ethan?" I wanted to back away, desperate to put some distance between us and stop my heart from pounding out of my chest.
