Wesley raises a brow. “Oh?”
“This guy was sorta following me around, staring at me. Itwasn’t a big deal.”
“Sounds like Cody disagreed.”
“Well, Cody’s…Cody.”
I lean back against the headboard and change the subject. Wesley talks about how his week has been going so far, what he’s been busy doing. I’m trying to listen and seem interested, but my social battery is dead.
“Addie?”
“What?”
“What do you think?”
“About what?” I say, and he laughs. I rub my forehead and eyes. “Sorry, I’m tired.”
“I know. We don’t have to talk if you don’t want.”
“I want to, but I really should catch up on sleep.”
“You should. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
“Yeah. Okay, I love you.” I smirk.
“Love you, be careful. Don’t let anyone sweep you off your feet or anything.”
I cock my head. “You think I’d let that happen?”
“Course not.”
“Good. Because what we have, baby…unbeatable.” I smile playfully and watch him blush.

“Okay…well, I’m not going to distract you. I just wanted to see you.”
His eyes flick up to mine. “You willalwaysdistract me.”
“Well, then, I won’t talk,” I say flirtatiously.
“Right…” he mutters.
A few minutes go by as I sit by the woodstove and get comfortable. Wesley’s fully in the zone. I’m keeping my wordby not talking to him, but I can’t help but feel like something is still definitely off.
“God da—” he starts
