“If I tell you my wish, it won’t come true.” “That must be one special wish.” I laugh. If only he knew. “Only the most special.” Everything around us fades to black as he leans in closer. Heat washes over my body in anticipation. I think Cade Jennings wants to kiss me. And I’m desperate for him to. My eyelids flutter shut, my lips parting slightly, eagerly waiting for him. One second ticks by, and then another and another. When I don’t feel him press his lips against mine, I open my eyes, to find him farther away than he was. His expression has hardened once again.
