He had saved it all along.

A shy, quiet joy filled me as I unlocked his phone. I noticed immediately that my chat

was pinned at the top–his only pinned contact. My lips curved unconsciously at this

Annoyance and unease prickled inside me. My expression grew frosty as I stood up

Connor noticed my sudden chill. He approached me cautiously, his brow furrowed in

concern.
