Immi noticed that Matt was still holding her hand; she really ought to find a tactful way of removing her hand from his…

Yet for the life of her she couldn’t pull away, because she liked the feeling of his fingers tangled with hers.

They lay there in a strangely companionable silence, just watching the stars, and Matt pointed out a couple more constellations. ‘That one’s Lupus—the wolf.’ They lay until the air started to get chilly, and then Matt sighed. ‘I guess we’d better get back.’

He saw her back to the house—and they still seemed to be holding hands.

This time he kissed her on the cheek. ‘Goodnight, Immi.’

Her skin tingled where his lips had touched her, and it was the easiest thing in the world to kiss his cheek back. Except somehow he’d moved, and she ended up brushing her mouth against his. It felt as if she’d been galvanised. She felt him go very still, too. And then he dropped the blankets and cushions he’d been holding in his free hand, slid his arms round her and kissed her properly.

It felt as if she were floating among the stars they’d just been watching.
