“I don’t hold back with you p>
Zora really meant it. She felt like she pushed Leighton’s buttons all the time.
Sometimes she even thought she was being too much.
But Leighton never got upset. He just smiled and let her do whatever she wanted.
He spoiled her nonstop, so Zora was never scared of him anymore.
She said and did whatever she felt like, without holding back.

If she was in a mood, she’d sneak up while he was cooking and tie his apron into tight, messy
knots.
When he was busy working at his desk, she’d clip cute butterfly hair clips in his hair when he wasn’t paying attention.
He never minded one bit.
He’d just smile softly, take the clips out, grab her wrist and pull her to sit next to him.
Then he’d fix her messy hair and clip the pretty accessories right into her little braids instead.
He’d also pull out chocolate from his desk drawer and hand it to her.
On days he came home worn out from work trips, Zora would pick him up.
He’d fall asleep the second he got in the car.
She’d poke his cheeks and brush her fingers over his eyes.
When he didn’t wake up, she’d tug the hair on top of his head and twist it into little heart shapes.
Sometimes she pulled too hard and hurt him.
Even then, once he woke up, he never complained.
He’d just hold her hand and let her fix his messed-up hair.
With him always giving in to her, Zora had no idea how many silly, bold things she’d gotten away with.
She used to be quiet and shy.

But his constant spoiling turned her into a total little troublemaker.
No matter what dumb stuff she did, he never got mad or scolded her.
He always looked at her with a gentle smile.

So any guilt Zora had at first would vanish right away, like she had every right to be playful with him.
“You say you don’t hold back with me,” Leighton said quietly, his eyes locked on nothing but her face.
“Would you tell your mentor about all these little things p>
Zora shook her head. “I don’t keep secrets from him.
“Even if I don’t say anything, he knows everything about me. He can tell what I’m thinking before I even speak p>
It didn’t matter if she told him or not.
They’d only had each other growing up for over ten years.
She could never hide anything from him. He knew her better than anyone alive.
One tiny move, and he already knew exactly what she was about to do.
It was never about telling him or not.
A faint, sad smile tugged at Leighton’s lips.
Yeah, they’d shared more than a decade together.

That kind of bond was unbreakable. No one could come between them.
He’d always known that, but feeling it so clearly still made his heart feel empty.
He couldn’t help but be a little jealous.
Most of all, he hated that he’d missed the first ten years of her life.
Still, Leighton wasn’t one to quit.
He’d missed her past, but he had all her future to look forward to.
First, though, he needed a real, special spot in her heart.
He knew no one could ever take Asher’s place.

He just wanted to be someone she cared about deeply too.
He wanted her to think of him whenever something happened, big or small.
His wish was simple-he just wanted to matter to her.
“Zora, what about me p>

Leighton leaned forward a little, his soft, loving eyes fixed on her.
“Huh?” Zora blinked, confused.
What’s wrong with him now?
“Where do I rank in your heart p>
Leighton kept it plain and simple, knowing she wouldn’t get vague hints.
“Rank?” Zora was totally lost.
What is he talking about?
Why are we suddenly ranking people I care about?
“Pretend your heart is split into ten parts,” Leighton said. “How many parts are mine p>
“Ten parts?” Zora frowned and thought hard.
She cared about too many people. Ten parts weren’t nearly enough.
Once, her mentor had been her whole world, every single part.
But now she had Leighton, her parents, her sister, her grandparents, and Maya…
She loved and cared for all of them. She couldn’t split ten pieces for everyone.
“I can’t split it right,” Zora said honestly, shaking her head.
It would never be fair no matter how she tried.
“Alright, if splitting parts is too hard…” Leighton smiled faintly and backed off a little. “Just rank them then.
“List the people you care about, from most important to least.
“Who’s first p>

Zora didn’t even hesitate.
“My mentor p>
Leighton wasn’t surprised at all.
“Then who’s second p>
He badly wanted to know his place.
“Second…” Zora’s eyes turned unsure.
Her whole world used to be only her mentor.
Who came next?
Before she knew it, Leighton’s handsome face popped into her head.
They’d spent months together.
Especially when she’d been stuck bedridden and couldn’t move well before.

He’d stayed up all night taking care of her, held her close, fed her, braided her hair, and calmed her down nonstop.
The confusion in her eyes slowly faded, replaced by a clear, sure thought.
