Chapter 12

For the first time since they had kissed more than a week ago, Ky woke up feeling well-rested. She couldn’t have slept more than a few hours, but her head was clear and her body relaxed.

She knew she wasn’t at home before she even opened her eyes. But then again, maybe she was. She was with Regan.

They had changed positions during the night so that they now lay facing each other, with Regan using Ky’s arm as a pillow. The faint light of dawn filtered through the closed blinds, painting stripes of gold and shade across Regan’s face.

Ky drank in her features—the curve of her mouth, with her lips slightly parted, the slope of her nose, the sweep of her long lashes, and the untamed tousle of her hair. God, she was beautiful.

Regan sighed in her sleep and nuzzled closer.

Ky wrapped one arm around her and held her close, inhaling Regan’s sleepy scent. Her heart ached. Not with the sharp pain that came with the thought of messing it all up and losing her. This felt more as if her heart was too full, spilling over all the emotions she had stored there and suppressed over the years.

It was as if that barely patched-up lid to Pandora’s box had been blown off while she’d slept, and now the contents were staring her in the face.

She was not over her crush on her best friend.

And it wasn’t merely a little crush either—and maybe it had never been.

This was way scarier. This was love.

Not the kind of love she’d shared with her girlfriends in the past. Those feelings felt superficial in comparison. Regan hadn’t just touched her heart; she had engraved her name across Ky’s very soul.

As if the shockwaves reverberating through Ky had woken her up, Regan’s eyes fluttered open.

She didn’t flinch or seem surprised when she saw Ky there, in her bed, holding her, as if that was where she belonged.

For the first time, Ky allowed herself to think that maybe she did. Maybe this was how she was supposed to wake up every day. Her panic receded as she looked into Regan’s sleepy eyes. Maybe she could have this and not mess it all up.

Regan didn’t say anything—morning was the only time when she wasn’t talkative—but she gave Ky a groggy smile. “’kay?”

“I’m fine.” I’m in love with you. For a second, she wasn’t sure which one she’d said out loud, but when Regan smiled again and settled back down on her shoulder, she assumed it was the former.

“’s early,” Regan mumbled. “Go back to sleep.” Her words brushed warm air against Ky’s neck, causing a trail of goose bumps.

Ky knew sleep was out of the question. Her mind was racing along with her heart. She stared past Regan’s tousled hair to the nightstand. A swath of light fell across the framed picture Regan kept there.

It was a photo of them, cheek to cheek, their arms around each other. Their friends pressed close around them so they would all fit into the photo.
