Chapter 40

• Pov Melissa
• On that Friday, I set my alarm to go off half an hour earlier than usual, although I had been awake for quite some time before hearing it. Every day with him felt like a first date.
• I got up as soon as I heard the first ring of the alarm and turned it off abruptly. I went straight to the closet to use something my mother bought without my consent, but sometimes it came in handy. I saw a high-waisted faux leather circular skirt and it seemed perfect to me with black tights, a closed ivory long-sleeved shirt with tiny brown dots, and short black lace-up boots with small heels.
