Love in the mirror: Shattered not broken book

Excitement surged through her blood, the toe curling, stomach crunching kind she had only ever read about. Feverish, delectable sensations coursing down her spine and across her skin with sizzling regularity while she sat as still as she possibly could. It was all she could do not to jump up and down shouting for all she was worth. That would give it all away though, ruin the night's plans. If her parents realised how excited she was she would never get to go and she would do anything to avoid that. So she sat still, demure and proper, eating a meal she hardly tasted. It had gone on forever, the usual bland conversations drier than ever and they were in heaven. Aunt Karen even contributed to it, agreeing to something her father had said and her mother had beemed. Caitlin knew her aunt hated the unstimulating talk as much as she did and was only being agreeable for one reason, the same reason she herself sat so still. Not to give daddy a reason to cancel their night out. Of course there was still Cassandra. Even though her twin would rather die than hang out with aunt Karen, her words, she loved nothing better than depriving Cait of the little pleasures she found in life, and they were few, seeing aunt Karen being one of them.
