章 61: Chapter 61 Family

Grace’s POV

“Is something wrong?” Jack asked making me flinch and my heart leaped in my chest. Ever since I realized that I’d fallen in love with Jack, I’d done what any rational woman would do in my case:

Panic!

Suddenly I didn’t know how to act around him. I wanted to be close, but I didn’t want to seem like I was clingy – or worse if he found out that I had feelings for him! I was scared that if I confessed that I’d fallen in love with him, he’d tell me that we were just friends and then, things would get awkward between us. Not to mention how incredibly painful it would be if he decided to put distance between us.

And don’t get me started on the “bash my head against the wall”-feeling that came with anything we did together. If we trained, every time he came too close my skin began to tingle and my stomach became a gooey mess. I forgot how to focus – or at least to focus on the things he was saying and instead focused on his breath fanning my skin.
