Not that she would say anything. Except- "You kissed me to shut me up?" Diana glanced up from her laptop. "It worked didn't it." A pause. The smallest almost-smile. "My Cinderella."

She absolutely knew. And she was so, so calm about it. [ gxg - slow burn - enemies to lovers - she fell first, but my darlings the other one didn't just fall, she shattered ] WEEKEND UPDATES🎀
