“Crap, sorry. I didn’t see—”
He let out an exasperated breath and pinned me with a dark look that sent a shiver racing down my spine. “You should pay more attention next time.”
“I didn’t mean it. I didn’t—”

And also the thing I hated most.

“I know my limits.”
“Listen, did something happen with you and Harper—”
“The fuck?” I balked at the mention of her name.
“You keep looking at her, and I saw the two of you talking Friday night.”
“Correction, she was talkingatme.”
“And?”
