“There are two other people in this car, so it counts as public domain.”
When Carson grumbled, I laughed. He turned the keys in the ignition and started the engine. “Wait!” I screamed.
Carson jerked in his seat. “What?”
“You just about gave me a heart attack,” Ethan whined.
“I almost forgot,” I said, then reaching into my clutch, I pulled out the envelope and pushed it toward him. “Read it.”
His brows furrowed as he turned his questioning gaze from me to the envelope. I watched as he paused, reading the return address, waiting for it to register. His eyes lit up before he tore into it, yanked the letter out, unfolded it, and read out loud, “We at Duke University, are pleased to grant you, Mia Randalls, early admission into the . . .” His voice trailed off before he flung the letter aside and lunged at me, crushing his mouth over mine again as I laughed.
By the time he pulled away, I was breathless, and it took me a moment to clear my head. “Looks like we’ll be going to school together in the fall, after all. Think you can handle that, Brooks?”
He smirked. “The real question is, do you think Durham can handle that? Carson Brooks and his girlfriend, Mia Randalls. Both of us Blue Devils. Watch out Duke, here we come.”

“You’re such a killjoy,” Carson said.
But all I could do was smile, sighing contentedly as we pulled away from the curb and headed for the gymnasium. My life may still be messy, and parts of my future uncertain, but I was happy, exactly where I was meant to be. A little over a month ago, one Brooks brother was my enemy, the other, my best friend. But today, only one of them held my heart.
