Chapter 25

Juliet

Something is different.

I stretch out in my bed, my spine lengthening and arms reaching above my head, the sheets smooth on my naked body, a grin already plastered on my face. The morning sunlight streams in through the window of my tiny studio apartment, and for once it seems almost beautiful.

What’s different?

I’m so deliciously, deliciously tired that even the insistent beeping of the alarm takes a good minute to make any impression. I’m still grinning into my pillow like an idiot. I only reach over and silence the alarm when it starts to break into my fantastic mood.

The sheets still smell like him.

Like Weston.

The images from last night sweep over me like a tsunami, and the warm joy glowing in my chest clicks.

Yes. That’s why I feel so damn good.

I don’t even care that I’m going to be late for class.

I bolt upright in bed, running a hand through my tousled hair. Shit. Shit! I’m going to be late for class!

I laugh out loud as I fling myself out of bed and race for the bathroom, making it there in a record two steps. My alarm had been going off for a solid forty minutes before I realized it, so I’m out of time. If I’m going to catch the last train with a stop near Anderson, I need to leave here in ten minutes. Yesterday, I would have been clenching my jaw in grim determination, cursing myself all the way.

This morning?

It’s still sunny out and it has the makings of a beautiful day, and that’s all that matters, right?

“Get a hold of yourself, Juliet,” I say out loud, as I rapidly massage the shampoo from root to tip and whip my loofah over my skin and run the razor over my legs and under my arms. I’m in and out in two minutes, maybe less, and twisting my hair into a low bun at the nape of my neck as soon I’m done drying myself off.

I tug the first sleeveless blouse I reach and some professional-enough capris out of the closet, slip them on over the first pair of panties and bra I grab from my dresser drawer, and snatch my bag off the floor by the front door. I didn’t get a chance to study yesterday, but for the first time since fall classes began a month ago, I can’t force myself to feel that pit of dread churning in my gut.

Because last night was amazing on a level I can’t even begin to describe in words.

I grab my keys off the hook by the door and step on something as I’m pulling open the door.

It’s the spare key that hangs on the last of the four hooks on the keyholder, and it’s folded into a sheet of paper from the printer.

My Juliet—

I had some things to finish up at the office and couldn’t bear to wake you. We shouldn’t stay up so late at night…unless, that is, you want to.

I’ll see you later, angel—

W

I clutch the paper to my chest, then laugh out loud again.
