My uncle loved eighties movies. I’ve seen them all.
Nobody puts Baby in the corner.
Wax on, wax off.
I can’t believe I gave my panties to a geek.
He froze. That one sent his thoughts in a dangerous direction. His phone buzzed.
STOP THINKING ABOUT MY PANTIES.
He grinned.
Can’t help it now.
Stare at me tomorrow?
Sure. I’ll be in the caf early.
And that was it. She didn’t respond.
But that was okay. For five minutes, he didn’t feel so alone.
Hunter put his head down against the duffel bag, closed his eyes, and smiled.
CHAPTER 7
Kate sat in the cafeteria and sucked on the end of a Twizzler. She should have been looking for the Merrick brothers.
Instead, she was waiting for Hunter. Her heart was buzzing, and she told it to knock it off. She was here on assignment. She had a task.
And she remembered the way he had gone from total control to utter disaster with the flip of a switch, like watching an intricate glass sculpture shatter into a thousand pieces—only to pull together again until you could barely see the seams. Something about that was intriguing, like the guileless way he responded to her text messages.
Silver didn’t know anything about that.
She had no intention of telling him.
Her cell phone chimed.
I can’t come sit with you.
She didn’t bother looking around. She just texted back.
Why not?
Complicated.
Kate shoved the bag of Twizzlers into the front of her backpack.
I’ll come to you. Where are you?
He didn’t respond, so she sent another text.
Don’t tell me. You’re sitting by the pool on the roof.
That got a response.
Please tell me you didn’t fall for that one.
