you really didn’t know how you got into this situation — pretending to be zach maclaren’s girlfriend to spare him and his temporary lost memory because he’d gotten into that accident and gotten a concussion.

and now, you’ve ended up at his parents house for dinner, after they invited you to dinner, after they also mistaked you for his girlfriend.

just sitting on the couch with him beside you, you’re trying to keep things calm and pg-13, especially since zach’s not actually your boyfriend.

you don’t want to overstep, but the guy thinks you’re his girlfriend, so of course, he’s being touchy and flirty.

and it doesn’t help that he’s looking at you like you’re his whole world.

and when he lets something slip out to his little sister — something that just somehow came back to him — you need to know what else he remembers.

“is… is there anything else you remember?” you ask hesitantly as avery heads off to play video games, now that zach himself can’t have any screen time with anything.

“mostly just how pretty you are,” he responds with a chuckle, leaning into you with a small grin. “very pretty, baby.”

god, is this boy going to give you a heart attack.
