I hesitated for half a beat. "Just… had something to do."
Nari smirked from her corner. "What, like secretly meeting your boyfriend?"
I blinked at her, caught off-guard. "What? No."
But as soon as I denied it, I dipped my brows, a different perspective registering in my head.
Wait a minute. Rennon is my mate. Should he or not count as my boyfriend?
"Uh-huh." She placed her phone beside her on the bed. "I mean, a mysterious little getaway during lunch and now you're walking in here with some mysterious white box. Suspicious, if you ask me."
"Speaking of," Juniper chimed in, this time looking directly at me, "What is in that box, Elira?"
I glanced down at it, the neat white square still in my hand. "Macarons," I said simply. "Do any of you want one?"
That got their attention.
In a matter of seconds, all four of them were out of their beds or seats, crowding around like birds that had spotted a slice of bread.
