“I need you to understand how serious I am, Ebbs.” His voice dropped to a whisper, but it carried the weight of a vow. He leaned in until his lips brushed hers and she couldn’t help but turn into him more. She kissed him, enjoying the way his eyes darkened. “I need you to know just how fucking crazy I am for you.”

Her throat tightened, emotions choking her. She silenced him the only way she could, and pressed her lips fully to his.

The kiss deepened until she was breathless. Outside the sun hid behind the clouds and the snow fell once again. She barely noticed when he shifted, lifting his phone with the other hand, angling it in front of them.

"What are you doing?" she asked between his kisses down her neck.

Herhair was wild and she was in her robe. It wouldn’t be the best photo of her.

"Immortalizing the moment when you became mine."

The shutter clicked, sealing the moment and binding their future forever.

Chapter thirty-four

Cameron leaned against the railing and stared at the reddit account. The entire thing was blowing up. A user by the name of PetalPusher just posted a picture of Gavin kissing Ebony as he held up the camera for a selfie.

Under it the caption read.

Proof that she was always mine.

Cameron shook his head and sighed. The fucking bastard knew about the account the entire time. Because of course he did.

Scrolling down, he read the comments of people losing their minds. Gifs of exploding heads and screaming cats littered the post. There were even selfies of other users. Cameron wasn’t at all surprised to see Ethan and Luis on there. The whole town really had been involved on this thread.

A text notification flashed at the top of his phone and Cameron straightened from the railing. It was from the unknown number, the one he had gotten four years ago and again on the yacht.

Unknown: Hey. I get it, you loved her. There isn’t a guy in Stardust who hasn’t. But she was always his. We both knew that. Hopefully, still your friend, Taylor.

Cameron let out a brittle laugh and stared out at the snow-covered slopes. Next semester he would be going to Berkeley. he was more than done with Stardust Cove and their weird as fuck citizens.
