"Do you really think this is a good idea?" I asked, my voice coming out more uncertain than I intended.
Caleb had just walked back into the living room, his easy smile disarming as he carried two glasses of wine. This whole night.. this whole thing.. felt way too normal, way too natural for what was supposed to be just an arrangement.
“You’re overthinking it,” Caleb said, handing me the glass. His fingers brushed mine, and even that tiny touch sent a wave of warmth through me.
I was overthinking it, wasn’t I? But how could I not?
“Relax. It’s just us,” he added with a smirk, dropping onto the couch beside me, his presence somehow filling the entire room.
Just us. If only it were that simple.
I took a sip of the wine, letting the rich taste coat my tongue. But it didn’t help ease
