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 stared at the clock on my phone and watched the minutes tick by. I tried to swallow my disappointment, and decided to finally call it a night. 


As I stood up and stretched, trying to regain feeling in my lower back after sitting on the stone steps for so long, I heard footsteps coming from my driveway. 


Finn slowly appeared from the shadows into the dim light cast from my garage. When he was close enough so that I could see his face, I noticed his eyes were full of deep regret. It was the complete opposite of how he’d looked in the bakery earlier that day. 


I took a deep breath, and made my way over to him, meeting him halfway. 


“Hey,” I said, suddenly nervous. It had been a long time since I’d felt like that around Finn. It was strange to stand in front of him after everything that had happened and not know how to act.
