I had to override the urge to join him on his side of the booth, because I wasn’t sure if I heard what I just thought I heard. “What?”
“Never mind. I’m tired—not making sense. Events like these exhaust me.”
“Same,” I admitted, finally relaxing a little.
His eyes flicked down, then back up.
There it was.
“Introvert?” he asked.
“I guess,” I admitted. “Though I don’t really have a problem teaching a class or public speaking.”
His lips pulled back slowly to reveal his perfect smile again, and he draped his arm over the back of the booth. “You don’t feel the need to be the center of attention.”

“But you’ll do it when it’s necessary. To teach.”
“Yeah,” I said, tucking a lock of wayward hair behind my ear, grazing my blazing skin. “Otherwise, I feel out of place.”

I decided I’d have to have a conversation with Sam about what was okay and what wasn’t just so everything was clear.
There was nothing worse than blurred lines.
And I’d never been in a situation where two guys like this were interested in me at the same time. I needed to take things slowly, carefully.
I needed to make sure no one got hurt.
Noah pressed his finger to the bridge of his glasses and pushed them up.
I thought I was going to burn a hole in the seat.
Thank God it was dark in here… there was no way Noah could see my embarrassing blush, even with his glasses.
…right?
But I could see it blooming onhischeeks, or was that my imagination?!
My nerves prickled under my skin. This was too much—I was getting stuck in my head, this wasn’t right, I needed to get out—
“So I have to ask, how did you meet my roommate?” Noah asked.
