Summary
Belly looks up at him from her lashes, lips upturned, as she goes to grab the fruit. His hand brushes hers, smooth skin warm in the heat, and she moves back to shake her hair from her face while he turns to put another bill in the tin before holding the peach up and biting sharply into it.
Conrad turns to face her again. She holds the fruit from her face, laughing slightly in disbelief. Her mouth is shiny and wet.
His heartbeat is loud. A steady, beating drum. “Was it as good?”
She nods with wide eyes. “Yeah, it was,” Belly says, laughing again as she licks her lips and brings the peach to her mouth again. She turns it over, catching his gaze as she takes another bite, eyes alight; the clank of flint on steel, kindle catching fire.

Summary
The double doors open with a thwack as she pads into the kitchen, humming a song in French off-key. And there, standing at the kitchen island in seersucker swim trunks and a white tee, is… a man. A stranger. Belly feels sort of like a fucking idiot, because she sees this stranger and it’s like a chorus of angels starts playing in her head. Or, like, at least a Taylor Swift song.
(Newly home from Paris, Belly decides to take a job babysitting a rich family's mansion on Cape Cod for the winter. She expects nine months of studying for the GRE, watering plants, and watching old movies. She does not expect their
very hottwenty-four-year-old son to start showing up).- Language:
