I blinked, caught completely off guard.
Kody was always meticulous, always in control, but this…
This was beyond careful planning.
This was him thinking of me in ways no one ever had before.
My face warmed bashfully, my heart skipping at the sheer thoughtfulness of it all.
“Kody,” I murmured, shaking my head slightly, “you really do think of everything.”
He only smiled, his thumb grazing my wrist in a slow, comforting motion.
“For you?” His voice dipped, sending a shiver down my spine.
“I always will.”
His words lingered between us, heavy with meaning, but before I could respond, a sudden pang of hunger twisted in my stomach.
I exhaled softly and picked up my fork, glancing at him with a small smirk.
“I don’t believe you a hundred percent,” I admitted honestly, meeting his gaze.
