She held her close at night, body pressed close, heat wrapping around Alex's body like a shield. She smelled like lavender and honey, an odd combination of smells but decidedly nice.

She whispered in Alex's ear, lips close, brushing softly against the lobe like a forbidden promise. She knew that Alex giggled when she was kissed on the hollow of her throat.

She didn't mind when Alex rested her head in her lap, rubbing her fingers through her hair, after Alex had a bad day. She didn't make Alex say she was sorry after they fought.

But she wasn't Paige.
