“That was insane. Just—insane.” Her hazel eyes are so bright. “Can we keep going?”
God yes. But as I duck my head to kiss her, the taste of her still on my lips, my phone vibrates, rattling against the kitchen counter as it rings.
I stiffen. Somehow, Iknowwhat it’s about. The hairs have risen on the back of my neck.

“Go ahead.” Her smile is lower wattage than earlier. “This can wait.”

“Two minutes,” I promise, and as I turn away, it’s like I can feel her slipping away. My gut twists.
I tug my shirt back on before I answer, and glare at the floor as I leave the room, my stupid phone pressed to my ear.
