“Nate . . . eethan,” I pulled back. “We’re violating the curfew.”

He glanced at his watch. I turned it toward me. It was 11:18.

“It’s okay,” he said quietly, sliding his thumb over my lips. “I’m the one whose death she’s planning right now. You’re safe.”

I snuck my hands under his coat, locked them behind his back and drew my face to his for a last kiss.

Next time we looked at the watch, it was 11:36.

“I should go,” I said, stepping away from him. “I don’t want Gran sitting up half the night because of me.” I walked backward toward the house.

“Where are you going?” he grabbed my hand and pulled me back. “I should drive you.”

“Nathan, the house is right behind me. I’m sure I can walk fifty feet.”

He held me in his arms for another few seconds.

Oh God, those eyes. Stop looking at me like that, or I will never leave.

“She’s waiting for a car, the same one you left in,” he said, his eyes still locked at mine. “If you walk home, it’ll alarm her. She’ll come up with a hundred different versions of me mistreating you.”

“Okay, let’s drive.”

We got in the car, and two seconds later he stopped it in front of my house.

The kitchen light was on.

He pushed open his door.

“Maybe you shouldn’t come out.”

“I can’t miss my own execution. Wait a minute, did you just call me a coward?”

“How can I? You sacrificed your safety belt for a kiss.”

Chortling, he shook his head.

We walked to the door. Gran came forward from the kitchen when I opened it. She glanced at the both of us, and before we could say anything, she headed to the stairs to the second floor.

“You didn’t need to start your car for that, Nathan.” She turned her back on us and climbed up. “It could have reached the house if you’d just kicked it in the bumper.”

My jaw dropped. I stared at Nathan, who was suppressing his laughter.

“Gran? How did you know?”

She held up her phone.

“God, I’m stupid.” I rolled my eyes. “She has me on her friend finder.”

We stepped back on the porch, and he wrapped me in his arms.

“Nathan, I swear, If I wake up tomorrow and find out that you’re somewhere in Alaska, then you better stay there.”

“Sleep tight, Nicky Callahan,” he whispered. “I’m not going anywhere. You’re not going to get rid of me so easily.”

And after one long kiss, he turned around and went to his car.

I half opened Gran’s bedroom door and stuck my head in through the gap. She was already in bed with an open book in her hands. I walked in and lay down next to her.

“Gran, I’m sorry,” I said, staring up at the ceiling. “Are you angry with me?”

“I’m not.” She closed the book and put it under the lamp on her bedside table. “The two of you were glowing like new coins. It means you had a good time, and I’m not going to ruin it because you were late.
