Meanwhile, my heart was busy collapsing inside my chest.

“Well…” My voice came out rougher than intended. “Maybe you should tell him.”

She stayed quiet.

Too quiet.

Then her fingers curled around my hand again, pulling it back toward her face.

I frowned and finally looked at her. “What are you—”

The words died in my throat.

Because she was staring at me in a way I’d never seen before.

Open.

Soft.

Terrified.

“Caleb,” she whispered.

My pulse hammered violently.

“I want you to kiss me.”

Everything inside me stopped.

Actually stopped.

I stared at her lips for a second, trying to process the words that had just come out of her mouth, and then my brain caught up.

“But…” I frowned in confusion. “What about the guy you like?”

A breathy laugh escaped her as she moved even closer. “Caleb,” she murmured. “I’m looking at him.”

Holy shit.

The realization slammed into me so hard I physically lost my breath.

I gasped.

Indi giggled at my expression while I sat there trying desperately not to lose my mind completely.

“Wait… seriously?”

I meant for it to sound smooth.

Masculine.

Confident.

Instead, it came out high-pitched and borderline panicked.

Fantastic.

Indi burst out laughing softly and nodded.
