“Never.”
For some reason, it feels as if she’s not just answering my question, but talking about something more.
“Thank you,” I whisper into the soft shell of her ear.
“For what?”
“For everything—your faith, your passion, letting me be your first. I don’t know of any other human but you who would be so trusting of a Boggart.”
“That’s because you’ve gone above and beyond to earn my trust. Thank you for making my first experience so perfect.”
“I wish you could stay the night. I want to hold you in my arms until the sun rises.”

“And who would’ve thought the brilliant, unsmiling marketing beauty would like it so rough.”
Wyn chuckles. “Guilty, but I might regret it when I can’t walk tomorrow.”
“Call me over. I’ll play with Jake while you recover.”

“Anything to spend more time with you.”
She hums in contentment, and we fall silent while I hold her close.
If only we could stay like this forever.

“Any questions before we wrap up?”
Bash addresses the room, but it feels like he’s only talking to me.
Part of me wants to ask how he could make me fall for him so quickly, but now’s not the time.
Funny how a month ago, I despised his very presence—craved him, but still despised him.
Or maybe I never really disliked the man, and I was only using my animosity as a shield to protect myself.
