The things you'll do for a crush. The things a crush will do for you.
Emery and Matt were never anything official. Three dates. Two okay kisses. A connection that should have caught fire but never quite did.
But she's not ready to give up. So when she hears he'll be at the city's most exclusive Halloween masquerade ball dressed as the Phantom, she does what any rational woman would do: she shows up as Christine, crosses the ballroom, and slips into his orbit like nothing between them ever faltered.
And it works. Better than she ever imagined.
He's funnier than she remembers. Easier to talk to. He looks at her like she's the only person in the room, and for the first time, she stops wondering if she's saying the right thing.
She kisses him.
And everything changes.
Because Matt never kissed her like that. Not even close.
Maybe she didn't need more time.
Maybe she just needed the right person.
