Page 213 of Safe With You

Nothing dramatic had happened since then. We’d talked a lot, which wasn’t exactly new anymore. There hadn’t been another date yet.

There had been a few kisses.

I was trying not to think too hard about what that meant, mostly because every time I did, I found myself searching for the part that should make me nervous.

So far, I hadn’t found it.

“Luna.”

I looked up to find Naomi standing beside me with the name cards in her hand.

“Found them.”

“Congratulations.”

“You were staring at him again.”

I straightened the programs even though they didn’t need it. “We’re dating.”

Naomi went quiet.

I looked at her.

She was smiling.

“What?”

“Nothing. I just wanted to hear you say it.”

I stared at her, and she walked away before I could respond.

“Annoying,” I called after her.

“I heard you.”

“You were supposed to.”

A laugh came from somewhere to my right.

I turned to find Ellis closer now, his camera hanging from the strap around his neck.

“What?”

“Nothing.”

“You’re laughing.”

“At something Naomi said.”

“You weren’t even over here.”

“Didn’t need to be.”

I narrowed my eyes. “Both of y’all are getting on my nerves tonight.”

“Event hasn’t even started yet.”

“Exactly.”
