Clark

I should have slept. Instead, I spent the midnight hours convincing myself that this bewitching attraction I experienced last night is merely that: attraction. I mentally cataloged a list of explanations to dismiss my reaction to her.

A list I recite as I walk up to the front porch and ring the doorbell.

But the second she opens the door with wide eyes and a warm smile, every self-preservation alarm in my body begins blaring out code-red warnings.

I am in so much trouble.
