A boon for Donovan: Cecilia assumes he rarely makes missteps. Her already racing heart thuds painfully in her chest when he smiles down at her, putting his annoyingly shiny teeth on full display. She's sure he knows exactly what he is doing by pinning her this way and then bringing up Henry. He must be teasing her. Mocking her for going with Henry when she had so obviously wanted Donovan to ask her.
As he moves to tap her forehead, she turns away, pressing her nose to the outside of his thigh. A curtain of curls blocks his view of her face and she stays still for a long moment, glad for the chance to let the color in her cheeks subside. When she reemerges, she looks far more composed, even with a wild crown of hair splayed across the cushions. "I'm not congratulating you for almost not dying until you congratulate me for making it to sixteen."
