A fluffy white cloud of bed covers envelops me. Deliciously soft. I stretch out beneath the covers and roll onto my back. Morning light filters through the sheer curtain draped over the four-poster bed and wraps everything in a soft golden glow. I remember tears drying on my cheeks as I fell asleep last night, but morning has brought a kind of stillness within me.

I turn onto my other side—and freeze.

Ryn, in all his perfect, sleeping glory, is lying just inches from my face. Beneath my covers. In my bed. Dark strands of hair fall across his forehead, and his lips are parted ever so slightly. He looks as peaceful as I felt a second ago. His eyelids flutter, and I scoot away from him. By the time his blinking gaze comes to rest on me, I’m lying right on the edge of the bed. “Uh, what are you still doing here?”

He blinks once more. “Well, I said I wouldn’t leave, didn’t I?” He rubs his eyes. “Then you told me I would leave and, well, I had to prove you wrong.”

He gives me the kind of grin that melts my insides. Ugh, how does he always manage to look so damn hot, even first thing in the morning? Especially first thing in the morning. I should ask him to leave now, but I can’t tear my eyes from his hypnotizing blue gaze. Without warning, I’m flooded once again with everything I feel for him. I can’t stamp it down. It’s so much more than I ever thought I’d feel for anyone that it threatens to overwhelm me. I can’t understand why these feelings aren’t exploding from every pore of my body and showering the room with warmth, joy and giddiness.

“Violet,” Ryn says quietly, his expression changing to one I can’t read. His eyes search my face as he moves a little closer to me. My heart starts jumping erratically. “I need to tell you s—”

“VioletVioletVioletVioletViolet!”

I jerk upright in fright and look around. Dashing across the bedroom floor is my little purple mirror. It stands on the floor below me, shrieking my name and jumping up and down on legs so tiny that it has absolutely no hope of ever getting onto the bed.

“What the flip?” Ryn says.

I reach down and grab the mirror. Tora’s face is visible in the shiny surface. I touch the glass. “Good morning, sleeping beauty,” she says. “Did I wake you?”

“Um, sort of.” Not exactly.

Tora pushes hair off her forehead. “I convinced Raven to go for an early morning run through Creepy Hollow with me. She can barely speak now, so I thought I’d check in with you instead.”

From somewhere behind Tora, Raven says, “Just … catching my … breath.”

Beside me, Ryn flops back down onto his pillow. “Flip, that thing nearly gave me a heart attack.”

Tora gives me a curious look. “Was that Ryn I just heard?”

“No.” I angle the mirror away from Ryn to make sure he can’t be seen.

Raven, her face sweaty and her cheeks flushed, pokes her head over Tora’s shoulder.
