Olive Branch
Olive wanted something to happen, but she didn't really know what. One of Kit's hands released its grip on her hair, sliding instead to cup her face, his thumb resting on her chin just below her lips. "You've never kissed anyone, have you?" he asked lowly, and his voice sounded different. Gravelly. Darker, almost. She shook her head as much as she could in his grip, which wasn't much, but didn't dare look away from him. "No, but I..." she trailed off, feeling like saying 'but I want to' would make her sound too eager, too desperate. ** Olive is still grappling with the recent loss of her father, while also trying to navigate re-learning how to live after her brother was arrested for murder. Lacking a social life, self-confidence, and any semblance of normalcy, she returns to college. She hopes to keep her head down and stay under the radar, but soon discovers that getting noticed by the group of friends she always sits behind at lunch may not be a bad thing after all. Especially when one of them is tall, tattooed, and keeping secrets... Cover by @fuzziwrites
