Luckily for me, there wasn’t a lot of traffic on the university streets that afternoon. It only took us a few minutes to reach the science building.
Without even asking if I wanted him to, Brand got out of the car and escorted me up to Dr. Barry’s office.
“Well, I don’t want to make you any later than you already are,” he said when we stood outside her office door.
Before I knew it, he’d leaned down and kissed me on the forehead.
“I’ll see you tonight, Lilly,” he promised, leaving before I was able to collect my senses and make a reply.
It may have just been a kiss on the forehead, but it was like a match lighting every nerve in my body on fire. I tingled in places I didn’t even realize had nerve endings. Forcing myself to breathe again, I walked into Dr. Barry’s office, filled with a new sense of determination to find a way to make it until lab that evening.
