"What?"

"What feeling?"

She searched for the words.

"It was almost like..."

She shook her head.

"This is going to sound ridiculous."

"Try me."

"I felt calmer standing beside someone I'd known for thirty seconds than I usually do with people I've worked alongside for years."

Lucy didn't laugh, she simply listened.

    Neither of them seemed willing to end it. Amelia looked down briefly before looking back up."Can I ask something?""Anything.""Were you planning on shaking my hand?"Jake blinked."What?""You've looked at my hand three times.""I have?""Unless you've suddenly developed a fascination with fingers or want to check if I've got eleven fingers maybe?"His ears warmed."I..."She tilted her head."Oh my goodness.""What?""You've been trying to decide whether to hold my hand."Jake considered denying it.

    The Jewellery Quarter looked different when there was nowhere specific to be. Without the pressure of work or shopping lists, Amelia found herself noticing details she normally walked straight past. Hanging baskets overflowing with bright flowers. Tiny independent shops squeezed between old brick buildings. A violinist playing beneath the shade of an old oak tree while people slowed almost unconsciously to listen.Jake walked beside her with his hands tucked into the pockets of his jeans. Comfortable. Relaxed. At least, that was how he appeared. In reality, his wolf was conducting what could only be described as an ongoing campaign of protest.Touch her.Jake ignored him.She's right there."I've noticed something," Amelia said.Jake glanced across."Should I be worried?""Possibly."

    Amelia woke with her phone still in her hand. For several blissfully confusing seconds, she couldn't work out why sunlight was streaming through the gap in the curtains or why her neck ached. Then she looked at the clock.10:03 a.m."Oh no."She bolted upright, sending her phone tumbling onto the duvet. She had slept through every alarm. Normally she was awake before eight on a Saturday. Grocery shopping, laundry and cleaning usually occupied most of the morning before she rewarded herself with an afternoon of reading.Today, her routine had completely deserted her. She reached for her phone. A smile appeared almost instantly. The final message from Jake still sat on the screen.I have a feeling that's going to be my favourite message for a very long time.She read it again.
