Colleen Hoover

I smile and nod, a little embarrassed. I try to turn my focus back to Julia, but seeing Lake finally langhing is captivating. It's amazing how one smile from her can shift the mood of my entire day. Lake sighs and leans back in her chair. 3So are you supposed to say a 'sweet' now ? Is that how this works ?"
I nod, unable to look away from her. Her smile meets her eyes, and even though I know she has a lot to deal with in the coming day, I feel a sense of relief just seeing her happiness break through, if only for a moment. The fact that she can still find something positive in her corrent situation reassures me that she'll be okay.
"My sweet ?" I say, staring directly at her. "My sweet is right now."
