Sophie ignored her and went to take a seat. The only two…
““Sophie ignored her and went to take a seat. The only two open were between Tristan and Jackson. Lilli had fallen headfirst in like with Jackson’s auburn hair and deep brown eyes, so Sophie knew she’d have to sit next to Tristan. Her heart stuttered. Tristan’s gray eyes warmed when Sophie took the seat next to him. Her gaze roamed over his face. The square jaw, full lips. His brown hair was mussed, like he’d just woken up. When his lips tilted up at one corner heat rushed to her face. “Come on. We need to get this started. I’ve got better things to do.” Morgan’s eyes sparked at Tristan and Sophie. Aidan, the last of the study group, whistled. “You’re hot when you’re jealous.” Morgan’s blue eyes turned to ice. She glared at him. He smiled lazily at her.””
