Feeling Gavin's hand on the small of my back sent an unexpected warmth throughout my body, making my cheeks flush as I looked up at him. He smiled down at me, his eyes shining with love and admiration, and suddenly I no longer felt out of place. I was exactly where I was meant to be... by Gavin's side.
