Deacon made a beeline for Ellie, making her stomach somersault

“Hey, gorgeous.” Hand casually about her waist, he bent to deliver a platonic kiss to her cheek. Why was she wishing for more?

“Hey, yourself. Glad you could make it.”

“Looked dicey for a bit, but considering the fancy hair you’re sporting, it was worth the effort.”

Like a giddy teenager, Ellie’s spirit soared at the compliment.

“Stop. My hair always looks like this.”

He snorted. “I don’t know what mirror you’ve been looking in, but I haven’t seen you look this hot since…well…” He whispered in her ear, giving her shivers, “Since that time back when—” She reddened, and he had the good grace to look away and clear his throat. “But we probably shouldn’t discuss that here.”

Cheeks still flaming, she elbowed him before leading the way to their seats. When he squeezed her hand, she squeezed back. Her usual guilt was there, but so was something else she hadn’t felt in a long time—anticipation for what might be next to come.
