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 tried my best to clear my mind of everything from the night before as I rushed into work. My mom glared at me and pointed to the clock, but I brushed past her, saying nothing as I headed to the back. We were both fully aware I was twenty minutes late, but I wanted to push that lecture and questioning until later that night, most likely at the dinner table. 


I also needed to try to stop thinking about Caleb. I was angry at first, but as I drove to work and calmed down a bit, I became more confused than upset. What he’d said still wasn’t great to hear by any means, but I knew Caleb. We shared a connection that I still didn’t understand, but I knew it was special. He wasn’t the type of guy to drag me along just to get me into bed and then ditch me completely. Plus, he’d looked devasted when I was upset with him. 


There had to be something more going on. What could have made him switch up so quickly?
