I don't know what you think we agreed on.

had said. The DOD and Daedalus believe my mutation wore off. Good news, right? But he's desperate-more so than we realized. If we don't

You're not going to try to be her best friend foreva the moment you walk out of this house?

You know what? I've got zero fucks to give when it comes to anything you've got to say.

Damn. That got me in the feels. Straight sucker punch.

If there is anything, there is us.

I could live on those kisses. I could live on those tiny breaths. I could live on her.

And I also knew I needed to get off her before I engaged in total dumbassery.

She probably had her nose stuck in a book, living in a pretend fantasy world while I was actually out there living in the real fantasy world.

She was mine. I was hers. A truth that would never change.

Only a handful of minutes ago, I'd seen the outline of her pass in front of the windows. Sadly, she was completely clothed.

Let's finish with your snowman. It can't be incomplete. Not with me here.

I brushed the curtain aside, scowling. Hadn't even spoken to the girl and I felt like a stalker staring out the window, waiting once more...waiting for what? To catch a glimpse of her? Or to better...

And because I was competing for world's biggest dumbass, I stayed out there, in the trees, stomach grumbling like a damn engine, and helped her carry in box after box without her even knowing.

I continued making the sexiest snow angel known to man.

The skin around her mouth tightened. I would throw this book at you, but I respect the book too much to do that.

I knew right then I would burn down the whole universe for her if I had to. I would do anything to keep her safe. Kill. Heal. Die. Anything. Because she was my everything.

And I also know that although she wasn't mine now, she would be one day.

You love her.I do. I love her.

I called up Andrew, Adam's twin and the Thompson brother who matched me in temperament and personality. In other words, we were fucking balls of sunshine.

Huh. Perhaps I was a bit too much of a dick the first two times I talked to her. Good thing she didn't know I briefly considered burning her house down.

I don't know how to make you better. I wish I did, but please stay with me. I need you, and I can't lose you. Not now. Not ever.

I think you need to look in the mirror if you think that's gorgeousHa, Andrew said, grinning.Were identical. Adam shook his head at his twin. He's insulting both of us, you idiot

Katy. Her name was Katy. Reminded me of Kitty. Kitty cat. Kitten. Look at me, putting all these words together.

I've always found that the most beautiful people, truly beautiful inside and out, are the ones who are quietly unaware of their effect. The ones who throw their beauty around, waste what they have?...

Jesus, all this thinking about my feelings and hers was probably going to give me a period.
