Summary
It’s only when he pulls away that he realizes Jordan is crying.
“Sweetheart—”
“Don’t.”
He tries not to think of the way she had cried out beneath him the night before when he’d called her a sweet, sweet thing, an angel, so nice, so perfect, so good. He’s guessing she’s thinking about it, too.
“You’re so beautiful.”
or: Nick, Jordan, a tiny little cottage, and a tiny little bed, and tiny little finger sandwiches left uneaten from the night before. And they try to convince themselves it won't happen again. (It does happen again.)
