“And I’ll admit,” he goes on. “I still didn’t get it. I couldn’t figure out why I was so angry – only that I was. And that I couldn’t handle the thought of you being anywhere near Freddy Rook.”

“You do realize that exploring a romantic interest takes two, don’t you?” He raises an eyebrow. “Obviously. That’s why I’m letting you know how I feel.” “Well, you haven’t asked how I feel.
“I don’t believe you. I’ve seen the way you look at me.” My eyes momentarily widen. He has?
My cheeks heat. How many times has he caught me stealing a quick glance or a lingering peek?
“I look at you the same way everyone looks at you. I mean, yes, I’m attracted to you. I’m human. I have eyes. But you and me –”

“I have caught you rifling through my things and discovering my darkest secrets twice now. If I didn’t kill you then, I don’t think you need to worry about a disagreement over dinner plans setting me off.”
