    Summary

    Now, rooted to the floor in thought, you found your gaze sliding to where Sam was shoving his shoes on at the end of his—your shared bed. You were both dressed in vacationers’ clothes. His hair was fluffy from the shower he’d indulged before you’d left, and after the eight-hour drive to port, sleep had softened his eyes and his brow.

    You rolled around everything you wanted to explain to him in your head, but none of it sounded right. Somehow, you landed on: “You think it’s gonna be weird, pretending to be married?”

    Sam shrugged. “We did it all the time when we were kids, playin’ house.” He closed the zipper of his boot, flashing you an innocent smile. “Can’t be that different, right?”

    Summary

    Just when her day has begun to turn quiet, Mr. Rochester whirls around the corner into the corridor, nearly colliding with Jane. His hair is soaked from the rain outside, his eyes invigorated with the exercise of riding. You could never call him handsome--it’s easy to imagine how the girls at Lowood would snicker together at his ugliness--but there is something fascinating in his face. She would like to study it closely, capture it on drawing paper.

    “You again?” he growls, brightening.

    Summary

    "Miss Starkov, are you aware of how distracting you are in my class?"

    My lips parted open, frozen as he turned around, bracing himself against the edge of his desk and leaning back slightly. His quartz eyes glimmered as he evaluated every inch of me in a painfully obvious manner, as if he were reading me like I was words on a page. I forced myself to speak. "I-I'm so sorry I came in late, but I have perfect attendance sir, this has never happened before and I'm a very dedicated student," I stumbled over my words frantically, my throat painfully tight in fear. He laughed, a dry, raspy chuckle that shut me up almost immediately. "That's not what I was referring to, Alina," he hummed, the sound of my name rolling off his tongue sending goosebumps down my arms. It was almost... seductive.
