![]() Forever Summer
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble -- EXCERPT: “We could have texted if you wanted to talk,” I remind him, patting the spot on the bed where my phone has slipped down to. He pulls an elastic band from his wrist and snaps it into place around his hair, making a perfectly small bun before taking the towel, squeezing the excess water from the style, and taking a seat at the edge of my bed. “You’re trying to make it sound like you don’t want me here, but I know you do. You wouldn’t have let me in otherwise, and you wouldn’t have kissed me this afternoon.” There’s a pause, the night dripping in and our faces drawing closer. “Do you believe in love at first sight, Morrigan?” His voice hangs heavy and warm in the bedroom air. The question might be a rhetorical one, but I feel compelled to answer because I think I gave a shit answer the first time he asked me the question. “I used to,” I reply softly, a whispered lilt to my voice that matches his own. “You know, before.” I tuck a loose strand of hair behind my ear. “That’s interesting.” He clasps his hands together and rests them between his thighs. His eyes tell me that isn’t the answer he wanted. “You stopped believing in love at first sight when I finally started.” ![]()
