They had already agreed to meet after the New Year, and he knew that asking to see her now–so suddenly -might come off as abrupt, maybe even alarming.

But even with all the self–control he prided himself on, he couldn’t hold back his longing.

After a moment’s hesitation, he finally typed with reverent fingers, “Leila, which city is your hometown in?”

“Send me your location. I’ll come find you.”

The chime of a new message made Lily grin as she rolled around in bed and eagerly opened their chat.

“James, it’s getting late. I’m going to sleep now. You should rest too.”

“Goodnight.”
