Jealousy had briefly zinged through me when she walked in to find his gift. She looked at Caleb with an emotion I hadn’t seen from her up to that point—affection. The jealousy lasted only a second because I wanted her to look at Caleb like that. Niko too. But more importantly, I wanted her to look at me like that. And I was hoping the time we’d get together tonight would provide that opportunity.
