My heart pounded so loud I was afraid he could hear it...It was like his calming presence wrapped its arms around my body, cradling me until I felt like I never had to worry about anything ever again. I craved for more of that feeling and found myself moving closer to him. We were just inches away from touching, the heat from his body a scorching tingle along my skin.

TWIST OF FATE

I had no idea what I was going to wear. What was the dress code for an indie film festival? I didn’t want to be underdressed, but I also really didn’t want to be overdressed. Did I even own anything that fell in the middle?


Why was the decision so difficult? It was one day. I just needed to pick an outfit for today. We were going to be in the car for a few hours, so I’d want something that was comfortable, but cute. ‘No, Evie,’ I thought to myself, ‘you don’t need to look cute. It’s Caleb.’


I needed an outfit that said, ‘hey, I’m at a film festival, but I came here with a guy who is just a friend.’


I eventually decided on a casual maroon dress and a black cardigan to top it off. I put it on and twirled in front of the full-length mirror in my room. 


I jumped, turning to find Addie leaning against my doorway.
