Amelie woke to the soft light of dawn filtering through the curtains, her mind still foggy from the night before. She lay quietly in Nico's bed, feeling his warmth beside her. For a moment, she didn't move, staring up at the ceiling as memories of the night came flooding back. The kiss, the way he made her feel, the passion between them—it had been intense, but now, in the quiet of the morning, she couldn't shake the strange sensation swirling inside her.She didn't regret it. In fact, she'd never felt more alive than she did last night. But there was something else, something nagging at her. A part of her felt out of place, unsure of what this all meant. Was it just the alcohol? The heat of the moment? Or was there something more between them? That thought unsettled her. Amelie wasn't used to uncertainty, and the vulnerability of it gnawed at her.
Carefully, she turned her head to look at Nico, who was still asleep, his chest rising and falling steadily. He looked so peaceful, so calm. She felt a pang of guilt at the thought of sneaking out, but staying wasn't an option either. She needed space to process what had happened, to figure out what she wanted before they were stuck together on a plane to Nashville later that day.
Gently, she slid out of bed, trying not to wake him. She grabbed her clothes, quickly dressing as quietly as she could. She glanced around the room, searching for something to leave him a note on. Spying a notepad on his nightstand, she scribbled a quick message
sorry I left early i'll see you later I don't regret it last night....
Amilie <3After placing the note on the pillow next to him, she hesitated for a moment. Her gaze lingered on Nico's sleeping form. Before she could second-guess herself, she leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to his forehead, then slipped out of the apartment, her heart racing.
The morning air was crisp as Amelie hurried to hail a cab, her mind racing almost as fast as her pulse. She didn't know what this all meant for them, but for now, all she could focus on was the next step—getting ready for the flight and the NHL Awards.
Once she got home, she wasted no time throwing the last of her things into her suitcase. She checked her phone and saw messages from her group chat with Lillian and sienna.
