This time, I’m the one who pulls him toward me. I cup his face in my hands, my tongue teasing his lips open. And then I’m kissing him, deep and almost lazily, because I’m still a little tipsy from the fruit punch. Seb groans and runs a hand under my sweater, up along my spine. And I twitch because his hands are cold.

“Sorry,” he laughs. “I just took my gloves off to get those stupid feather lights up.”

“Fairy lights,” I correct.

He confuses words sometimes since the hit he took during that fight. “They’re shit lights, whatever kind they are.”

“They’re beautiful,” I tell him. “Thank you… for doing this.”

He lifts his thumb and traces it along my lower lip. “I lick you, Caroline Heinz,” he whispers. “You’re way too amazing to live your life trying to blend into the background all the time, you hear me?”

I inhale a shaky breath… tuck a stray curl behind his ear. “I lick you too, Sebastian Murdoch… So,somuch.”

“Promise me: no more trying to be invisible,” he says, pulling back so he can look into my eyes. Because this is important to him. Just like it’s important to me that he takes care of his mental health—above football or school or anything else.

“No more being invisible,” I promise him.

Then I mix the red and yellow paint and make my mark in thick, bold letters:

CAROLINE HEINZ WAS HERE

* THE END *
