“I’m Julian’s roommate, Noah,” I said, desperate to keep our conversation going.
Gemma beamed, and fuck, I understood now why Julian warned us to stay away.
Because Christ, Gemma Briggs was gorgeous. Creamy skin, pretty freckles, bright blue eyes, and vibrant hair that reminded me of summer—of the hot sun and sprouting flowers. The orange kind with coppery speckles. Lilies. Tiger lilies.

I liked that.
Gemma Briggs was a tiger lily.
And I was becoming a fucking poet.
God, what the hell was wrong with me?
