Tingles of warm air caressed the back of my neck, so I leaned in closer toward the body heat behind me, the arm around my waist tightening. When I moved, my shirt raised a little bit, exposing my midriff, and I felt a calloused finger making tiny circles on my stomach, causing goose bumps to attack my body. I felt the muscled chest behind me breathe in and out, our breathing mirroring each other’s. At one point, I swear I felt a pair of lips press against my neck. I was comfortable; too comfortable.

I didn’t want to wake up from this cozy dream and go back to my reality. I wanted to stay in this person’s arms and wanted to forget my life and forget the people who were after me. The fingers stopped playing circles on my stomach, and the large palm dragged across my stomach until it reached the other side, pulling me in even closer until my body mashed with his. My eyes popped open. The room was still dark, but some light shined through the cracks of the curtains. I peeked down at my waist—yup, it was definitely not a dream—a large arm was wrapped around my waist, and my body was plastered to a very muscular one behind me. A very muscular body I shouldn’t have been up against. I tried to swallow, but there seemed to be something stuck in my throat. I was positive we’d fallen asleep with both duffel bags in between us. What had happened to them?

The vital question remained: how would I get myself out of his arms? But do I really want to? I’d slept much better last night than I had my whole life. It had to have been because I was over exhausted—nothing to do with the large Neanderthal behind me. I shouldn’t have been cuddled up with some guy because I was technically “engaged” to Tyler. That was if he was still alive. My heart panged at the thought of Tyler; I hadn’t thought of him since the library. I wondered if he was okay and hoped he’d made it out. There was no need to be mad at him about what had happened; he'd apologized. Instead of running away to make sure I lived, I should have been planning a future with him. Thinking of Tyler made me wonder if there would ever be a time when I could go back home, to pick up where I had left off. My father had made an excellent choice by choosing Tyler to be my husband; he was a natural-born leader, and I’d had a crush on him for a long time. We could be happy. Yet I’d have to be okay with becoming friends with Mandy and Sarah. The upside though was if Tyler was to become the Leader, I would be able to do what I wanted, and I wanted to teach, to help others.

Fingers gripped into my flesh, erasing all thoughts of Tyler out of my mind.
