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 didn’t know what else to do, so I decided to run. 


I shoved the picture into the photo album as quickly as I could, and made sure to put everything back on the bookshelf how I’d found it. I scrambled to get my purse from the couch and didn’t even double check that I had everything before I headed for the front door.


My heart pounded so loud that I didn’t hear the shower shut off. 


“Hey, since we’re done, how about we watch your movie now?” Caleb’s distant voice asked.


Instead of answering, I grabbed the bag with the cakes by the door. I looked over my shoulder to make sure Caleb was still in the bathroom. 


“Evie?” Caleb called, and I heard the door open. 


That was my cue. I crept out as silently as I could, and made a run for it the second the door closed behind me.
