When I arrived at Chloe and Trent's the following morning, Isach's car was in the driveway. With any luck, I'd get the chance to talk to him alone before he left for his honeymoon. I knocked once and let myself in - Chloe said I had an open invitation to come over whenever I wanted, and I admittedly took advantage of that quite a bit. I'm pretty sure she extended that offer because she felt sorry for me, but I never really let myself dwell on that too much.
I walked in to find Piper in the kitchen. She wore a powder blue, long sleeve shirt that stopped just above the waist of jeans that molded to every curve, offering a tantalizing peek at a small strip of bare skin. The mere sight of her caused everything in me to shift back into place, and the edginess I'd felt this morning vanished. Just being in her presence satisfied me, though I desperately wanted so much more.
