A Smile As Sweet As Poison (2015)
“Ward nodded off before Dylan had their dinner plated and he tripped twice heading up the stairs, after. It was too pitiful for Hazel to muster any disappointment. She spent the night in Dylan’s bed again, cuddling before they fell asleep, then rousing for a rushed breakfast and work.

Hazel let her eyes droop shut without checking the time.MoreLess
