Chapter 44

• Leah’s POV
• As we dance on the floor, I feel completely lost in Xavier's arms. His touch is electric, and I can’t help but melt into him as we sway to the music. I am lost in the moment, feeling more alive than I ever had before. At the corner of my eye, I see Kendra walking towards us but I turn my head Ignoring her completely.
• Suddenly, I hear her loud voice behind me. "Excuse me," she says, cutting through the music and pulling me out of my trance.
