We were both quiet a long time and I was about to fall back asleep in the curve of his arm with his warm body at my back when he called my name.<br />“Laurie?”<br />“Yes,” I muttered, my voice sleepy.<br />“I was pissed last night.”<br />“I know.”<br />“You look good.”<br />“Sorry?”<br />“No way you can look like all the rest.”<br />My eyes shot open.<br />His arm curled me deeper into his body and I felt his face burrow into my hair.<br />“You’d always shine through,” he muttered and now he sounded sleepy but I was again wide awake. “Somethin’ special,” he finished.
