I could feel Seth's heartbeat as his chest pressed against mine. I wanted to say something but my lips parted and closed with no words coming forth.

I swallowed, trying so hard not to be affected by the name he called me but they only brought back memories that I had tried too hard to forget.

"Lyn," he repeated and my throat tightened as the emotions all came rushing back. I could barely remember the last time he called me that.
