He smiled at me, awakening the butterflies in my stomach. I’d never thought I’d find a smile to be so captivating, but Hugo’s was. Every time he smiled at me my heart stopped, and everything else ceased to exist. Hugo’s smile was the sun at the centre of my universe.

Something warm curled in my stomach as Hugo pulled me closer, a growing feeling of warmth and home.

I love you, you weirdo. The words were so close to falling off my tongue. I didn’t know where they’d come from, but suddenly there they were. And I knew nothing could be truer: I loved him.

The smile on David’s face was the biggest I’d ever seen, and suddenly I was being dragged into a giant hug from which there was no escape. Not that I really minded all that much. Instead I clutched at his shirt, taking deep breaths as my feelings clicked into place.
