"What the fuck are you doing, Mr. Roztov?" Grace's voice was sharp, but wavered with emotion.
Cal flinched at the formality. It was never Mr. Roztov between them. Just Cal.
"First of all, it's Cal," he said gently. "Second, I just wanted to explain."
"Explain?" Grace scoffed, eyes glassy. "That's why you kissed me? You don't need to kiss me to talk, Cal. I thought we were friends."
"We were... but it was just one kiss. No big deal."

"Alystrid is only my-"
"I love you, Cal," she cut in, voice low. "And I hate that I do. Because one kiss... and I'm falling for you all over again."
