to nobody.

I nudge his shoulder and raise my hands in question. “What? Tell me what’s wrong,” I nearly shout, concern overflowing me.

He picks his head back up and glances back at Alexa as she climbs the steps into the jet. “That girl there,” he says to me quietly. “I’m not certain, but I have the strongest feeling and I’m pretty sure... she is my Intended.”

Eeeek!

Chapter 2

Neo and I are the last to enter the small plane. It’s beautiful inside the jet cabin, with ornate chrome lining every wall and white leather plush seats for all of us passengers to sink into. My mouth falls open as I study the intricate flower designs and smell the clean scent coming off of the recently washed cream-colored carpet.

I glance over and notice Kassy with the exact same expression that I sport. My eyebrows raise at her and we share an excited smile. “How on earth did we score a private jet to take us home?” Kassy nearly shouts out her question.

Aunt Mags grins at Kassy from her reclined chair near the head of the plane. “Well, lucky for us, my big sis has been around these parts forever and knows just about everyone. Morgan has a handsome man-friend that owns this plane and really wants to get on her good side.”

Kassy, Alexa, and I all giggle together. Alexa comes to my side with a smile stretching her wild freckles across her pink cheeks. “I want to sit by you, El. Your friend can…” She pauses when she looks up at Neo standing behind me and her already rosy cheeks turn a deep crimson color.

Alexa flips her bouncing red curls behind her and her golden eyes darken at the sight of the handsome boy who has quickly become one of my best friends. I step out of her way, so I can properly introduce the two of them, and I place a hand on each of their shoulders.

“Lex, this is Neo. I met him a couple of weeks ago here in Granbury.” I turn to Neo, whose eyes are locked onto the beautiful friend to my left. “And, Neo. This is Gavin’s twin sister, Alexa Cole.”

Neo’s head quickly turns to me and his eyebrows press together. “Your Intended’s sister? Oh, boy.” He releases an almost laugh with his exhale of nervous breath.

Neo reaches his hand out to Alexa, but she pauses and just stares at it. “Uh… I don’t know what to do here.” Alexa giggles and twirls her fingers together.

I step away so they can figure out the next step and my back presses up against a warm chest. Gavin’s arms wrap around me and together we silently watch his sister meet her Intended for the first time.

Neo takes a step closer to Alexa and his tall frame towers over hers. “Well, usually when a person holds a hand out to someone, the other person will grab it and sorta shake it.” He chuckles down at her. “Crazy, aint it?”

Alexa rolls her eyes and grins back at Neo. “I understand what a handshake is, captain obvious.” Her retort pulls another laugh from Neo. Alexa shifts side to side in her spot, her blue tennis shoes tapping lightly against the cabin floor. “I just have this feeling…”

“What feeling?” Neo asks softly, taking another small step closer to her.

I feel like a creeper watching them, but my curiosity is in total control. I scan the room and all other eyes are on the scene as well. I guess I’m not the only creeper on this plane.

The one person looking slightly confused though, is poor Liam. He stands near where Kassy sits and his blue eyes flash back and forth between the couple and then land on me. He raises both of his shoulders, and I just shake my head at him with a smile. I’ll explain it to him later.

I turn my attention back to Alexa who takes a deep breath and flicks her hair back again. “I just have the feeling that if I shake your hand, things are going to change real fast, and I don’t know if I’m ready… I mean, I thought I was ready a long time ago, but crazy stuff has happened and this is very sudden and…”

Alexa’s crazy rambling is cut off by Neo’s gentle hand on her cheek. She sucks in a sharp breath and her whole body freezes. “Oh,” she says simply.

Neo smiles down at her. “There, now the hard part is over. Are you still kickin’ in there?”

Alexa reaches up and grabs the hand still on her cheek. She smiles at Neo and shakes her head at him. “I honestly don’t know,” she answers him.

“Take your seats! We’re ready for takeoff!” A man’s voice interrupts the momentous meeting from somewhere in the cockpit.

I turn to Gavin and kiss him on the cheek. His stubbly face tickles my lips and I can’t help the smile that comes. “I’m going to sit with the girls, but I’ll join you later, if that’s alright?”

He pulls me in tight before releasing me with a nod. “Make girl-talk quick. I’ve had your lips on my mind all morning and I don’t know how long I can hold myself back.” His golden eyes watch me intensely and my whole body shivers.

I open my mouth to respond, but I only manage to stutter a “m… kay” at him before he kisses my nose and wanders to an empty seat near Liam and Aunt Mags.

Oh, man. That boy of mine sure knows how to make my mind stop whatever thought sat on the horizon only moments before. Alexa grabs my arm and I’m pulled from my daydream.

“Let’s go sit by Kass and catch up.” She tows me toward the empty seat beside Kassy and we huddle together.

Kassy nudges Alexa with a huge smile on her face. “Don’t you want to go sit by your you-know-what?” she whispers.

Alexa shrugs. “Right now, my brain can only take one thing at
