Chapter Twelve: 2 A.M. Decisions

Ezra: Wait…

Ezra: Did you just ask me out?

My heart stopped for a second.

Did I?

I hadn’t even realized it myself.

Violet: What if I did?

Violet: Would you say yes to someone you just met… a few hours ago?

The words felt heavy as soon as I sent them.

This was crazy.

It hadn’t even been a full day.

Just a few hours.

A few hours that somehow felt like… more.

There was a pause.

A long one.

The kind that makes your chest tighten.

Ezra: Why not?

Ezra: If I like her… then yeah.

My breath hitched.

Violet: So… do you like her?

Silence again.

Then—

Ezra: I do.

Everything inside me shifted at once.

Warmth.

Shock.

Excitement.

All at the same time.

It was overwhelming.

And yet… I didn’t want it to stop.

Violet: Then… just so you know—

Violet: You just agreed to be my girlfriend.

The moment I sent it, reality hit me.

What did I just do?

At 2 a.m.

With a girl I met a few hours ago.

This didn’t make sense.

None of it did.

And yet…

It felt right.

Dangerously right.

Her reply came in.

Ezra: Yeah… I did.

Ezra: Are you regretting it already?

A soft laugh escaped me.

I leaned back, staring at the ceiling, my heart still racing.

No.

I wasn’t regretting it.

If anything…

I was scared of how much I didn’t regret it.
