I frowned, placing a hand on his arm. “Drake.”

Drake snapped his eyes over to me, his muscles tensing as he likely prepared some kind of retort. But then his shoulders slackened, and he let out a sigh as he ran a hand through his hair.
“I know, I know. I can’t strong-arm her into falling back in love with me,” he said, then paused, licking his lips. “You know, that whole thing was my aunt’s idea-not mine. I told her it was too far,
but…”
“It’s alright. There will be other opportunities. Less… intense ones, maybe.”
Drake nodded and pulled the piece of m****n back out of his bag. “You’re right. Something that will show her I miss her without making her feel like I’m cornering her. And-”
Suddenly, before Drake could finish, my stomach growled. Loudly. I instantly placed my hand over my stomach, my face reddening, as I realized that I still hadn’t eaten a bite of food all morning.
“I’m so sorry,” I said, looking away. “That was embarrassing.”
Drake merely chuckled. “Here. Eat.”

I turned to look at him, seeing that he was now holding the piece of m***fin out to me. For a few moments, my eyes flickered to him and to the m****n, then back to him. It did look good. It smelled good, too.
Finally, unable to resist, I leaned forward and took a bite.
My lips brushed his fingers, but I didn’t mean to; I only noticed the sweet taste of the blueberries, the hard grains of raw sugar
on top, the fluffy dough.
“Wow,” I said, placing my hand over my mouth as I chewed and swallowed. “These m***ns are delicious.”
Drake grinned, “I told you.”
By now, we were nearly at the door. I stopped, turning to Drake, and offered him a warm smile. “It was good seeing you.”
Drake nodded and gave my arm a squeeze. “We should hang out again sometime,” he said, then paused, looking a bit embarrassed. “Not just to fulfill our plan with Zoe and Noah, but… as friends. I enjoy your company.*
“I enjoy your company too, Drake,” I said, leaning forward to hug him. “I think it would be nice to spend some time together.”
My feet were sore as I flopped down on the couch with a heavy sigh. I had spent the day running around town-driving Noah’s car to the mall, to the coffee shop, to the nail salon. I had even picked up Viona to join me on my adventures, who was currently sinking down into the armchair across the room with a sigh of her own.
“You didn’t fill the tank, did you?” she asked, peering at me over the top of her phone.
I giggled and shook my head as I flipped through the TV channels. “Of course not. If he’s going to cheat on me, then I’m not buying him gas.

Viona grinned. “Good girl.”
We sat there in silence for a few minutes as I tried to find something good to watch-I was craving something cheesy and romantic tonight. Something to take my mind off of the reality of my own romantic life.
But just as I was about to get up to make popcorn, Viona gasped and nearly dropped her phone.
“Hannah!” she breathed, rushing over to me and shoving her phone in my face. “Look at this!”
Frowning, I took her phone and peered at the picture on the screen; and instantly, I felt my stomach drop straight through the floor beneath me.
There, plastered on the front page of a local tabloid, was a photo of me and Drake taken the moment that I had eaten the **out of his hand, my lips brushing his fingers.
“And there’s another one,” Viona breathed, scrolling down to another picture: this time depicting us smiling at one another and hugging.
I felt as if I might be sick when I read the headline.
“Alpha Drake and Luna Hannah: Sordid Affair?!?”
