My favorite lines this week:

✿✿ SUNDAY ✿✿ Mowed, but did a timed read anyway. 😁

I took a deep breath and filled my lungs with crisp air, imagining how my blood transported the air molecules into every cell of my body, rejuvenating me from within. Birds chirped and trilled, and the ground vegetation rustled as if we were being followed by wildlife who didn’t want to be seen. What would it be? A rabbit? A huge rat? Week, I hoped it wasn’t that.

✿✿ MONDAY ✿✿

“I swear, I’ll even tone it down. No pink or sparkles or anything.” Everett gave me a cheeky grin, and I had to work not to smile in response.

✿✿ TUESDAY ✿✿

He sucked in a breath, then let it out in a rush of words. “Was this a date?”

✿✿ WEDNESDAY ✿✿

Something flashed in his light blue eyes that I couldn’t quite name, but his pleased smile made butterflies dance in my stomach. I loved the way he looked at me, and I wanted him to keep doing it.

✿✿ THURSDAY ✿✿

Letting my eyes drift closed, I ignored my inner sensible voice that pointed out it would be better if I ate, showered, and went to  bed because I would regret it in the morning if I fell asleep on the couch. I groaned. I was so darned tired of my practical brain. Why didn’t it come with an OFF button, so I could silence the nonstop obsessing over all things big and small?

✿✿ FRIDAY ✿✿

Everett and he gave me a goofy grin. “I keep track of things, honey. Don’t worry your pretty little red head about it.” 

It’s auburn,” I mumbled as everyone else laughed.

✿✿ SATURDAY ✿✿

Jackson lifted the treat to his nose and sniffed. His brown eyes, usually so guarded and on alert, warmed, and one corner of his mouth turned up. It wasn’t a full smile, but the most smile-like expression he’d ever given me, and I’d take it.
