Chapter 69: In Bed

Luke took my hand and stole us away before the others could see. We fled through the trees, creating as much distance between us and our friends. We wanted to be alone, together. And I wanted this to last forever. OK, if that isn't a lyric from a future Top 10 hit then I don't know what is. I made a mental note to text Jake later.

"Why are you smiling?" Luke asked, glancing over at me with a relaxed smile of his own.

We were fleeing from our friends. I turned back to see if any of them had noticed us, but it looked like we'd gotten away. "Are you sure you know the way?" I retorted, trying to change the expression on my face to match the escape plan. I couldn't. "You want to lead?" he asked, daring me to take us down the wrong way again.

His eyes were so beautiful. Has anyone told him that?
