“Because I opened the patio door to look outside earlier when we first got here.”
“They’re both locked.”
Drake must sense my unease because he wraps his hand around mine and says, “Would you like me to go check to be sure?”
“No, you don’t have to do that.”
“I don’t mind.”
I kiss his hand. “I know you don’t. Thank you for offering, though.”
“Go check if you need the reassurance. But I promise I would never let anything happen to you, and I promise I will never tell you I’m sure about something unless I’m one hundred percent sure.”
“Okay.” I nod and settle myself in the crook of his arm. I don’t say another word, and about the time Drake’s breathing evens back out, I reach over and check the alarm one last time. And then I check it seven more times just to be certain, and when I curl back up to Drake’s body, he rests a hand on my hip.
“Is it good?”
“It’s good.”
“Great. Now get some sleep, sweetheart.”

“I called you last night,” Hannah says, sliding onto a seat across from me.
“You did?” I shove a french fry into my mouth.
“Yup. Twice.”
“Hmm… I’m not sure how I missed it.” Lies. All lies. I probably didn’t hear it because I was screaming Drake’s name, begging him to fuck me harder. Except I can’t tell her that. Not yet at least.
“And when you didn’t answer, I went to your house.”
Oh shit.
I take another fry and chew it slowly. “Is that so?”
She nods. “Want to tell me where you were?”
“Not really.”
Hannah waits a few seconds and then rolls her eyes. “Jesus Christ, Abigail, I know you’re banging Drake. Just admit it already.”
Her voice is a little loud, and I hold a finger to my lips. “Would you keep it down?”
“Damn it, Abby, we used to tell each other everything. And Drake’s one of my best friends. Why would you keep this from me?”
She actually looks a little hurt, and I immediately feel bad.
“I’m sorry, Han. It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you; it just sorta happened fast, and you and I haven’t spent a lot of time together for me to tell you.”
“So it’s true?”
I nod. “How did you figure it out?”
“Besides the fact that I could feel the attraction between you every time you were within ten feet of each other?”
“Yes, besides that.”
