It felt like a boulder had shifted in my chest, making room for the sun I had worked so hard to block out. He wasn’t supposed to make butterflies swarm in my stomach, or my face heat. This crush was supposed to die over the summer. That deadly concern swirling in his caramel eyes was new and it left me breathless. It wasn’t just worry…it was like someone attempted to touch something that belonged to him. I knew after this moment that look had ruined me for anyone else for the rest of my life.
