“Oh, I forget one time and I’ll never live it down.”
“You know how I feel about the alarm.”
Amber got off the bed with a shake of her head. “Yes, yes, I know. I’ll remember. What time is your flight tomorrow?”
“Eight. I’m leaving about five a.m. to make sure I have enough time to do everything.”
She pouted and held out her arms. “So, you’ll be gone before I wake up?”
“I promise to text you whenever I get anywhere. To the airport, on the plane, to Scotland, and to Will’s grandparents.” I hugged her.
“You better.” She squeezed me tightly. “Okay, have a shower and go to sleep or you’ll miss your alarm and your flight.”
“Yes, Mum,” I replied, releasing her.
“Don’t take that tone with me.”
“Get out of my room.” I laughed, pulling my towels off the warm radiator.
Amber raised her hand over her shoulder and stuck her middle finger up at me, but she left me to go for my shower.
I took my towels through to my ensuite and started the shower. I used the time in the hot water to pay extra attention to myself—moisturising, an extra shampoo, and yes, I shaved my legs.
And, uh, other parts.
A girl could dream, all right?
Besides, I didn’t know how big William’s grandparents’ house was. Perhaps a night-time frolic was on the cards. If it was, I wanted to make sure I was prepared.
Huh. I was going to have to pack more underwear, just in case.
Wait.
What if we had to share a room?
I hadn’t asked him that.
Oh, shit.
I finished my shower and wrapped my body and hair in towels, then rushed out to my room. The colder air was a stark contrast to the steamy warmth of the bathroom, and my entire body shivered as goosebumps popped up across my wet skin.
Goddamn it.
I hadn’t shut my bedroom door. No wonder it was cold in here.
I pushed it shut, adjusted my towel, and picked up my phone to text William.
ME: Uh, what are the sleeping arrangements at your grandparents’ place??
I stared at my phone as I bobbed on the balls of my feet to warm up.
WILLIAM: As far as I know, we have our own rooms.
ME: As far as you know???? YOU’RE LITERALLY THERE.
WILLIAM: Lol but they’re asleep. They’re old, Grace.
ME: Omg.
