Chapter 263 Kissing Practice

• Bridget made Nicholas and I redo our breakup scene. With his apology fresh between us, I didn’t feel so hurt anymore, and the words from the script bounced right off of me without taking root in my heart.
• After the scene, Nicholas and I smiled at each other, then I made my way down the stage to rejoin Julian and Elva in the crowd. Julian winked at me as I came to stand beside him. I rolled my eyes, but smiled too.
• My heart felt so much lighter than it had for days. Things weren’t all the way better between Nicholas and I. There was much to talk about, and things to make clear. But the hurt wasn’t so powerful anymore.
