I cringe. “That sounds strange and formal.”

“Nah, it’s good.”

I roll my eyes. “Whatever. But I want to add to it.”

“Go ahead.”

I sit next to him and take the pad and maker. “No texting while driving. No passing Lincoln St. And Caleb agrees to continue driving Becca to school, even after the dates are finished—no matter what the result is.”

He takes it back. “She agrees to give Caleb a fair shot.”

I give him a look. “It won’t change anything.”

“I want you to go into this with an open mind, even if that means I only have a small chance,” he says.

“Fine. Imost likelywon’t change my mind.”

He nods. “I’ll take it.”

I shake my head. “I can’t believe you’re making me do this. I’ve never even been on a date before.”

“What?No. I never would’ve guessed that. Your personality is so warm and inviting, and you’realwaystalking to guys. I figured you were going on a date with a different guy every weekend.”

I deadpan. Obviously, that couldn’t be any farther from the truth. “Ha-ha.”

He holds the pad out to me. “Anything else?”

“Not that I can think of.”

“Okay, do you want to sign it first?”

I scribble my name across the bottom and date it. Caleb does the same. Then he takes out his phone, holding it over the paper.

“What are you doing?”

“Taking a picture just in case you try to rip it up tomorrow.”

I snatch the notepad away from him. “Wow, that’s mature,” I say with a click of my tongue.

“Says the girl that threw water balloons at my bedroom window.”

“Hey, I was eleven and you stuck gum in my hair,” I say.

He laughs. “That wasn’t my fault.”

“Oh really?”

“Mhmm.” He nods. “If you didn’t steal my seat, I wouldn’t have sat behind you.”

I roll my eyes, setting the notepad down. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Leaving already?”

I raise my hand, giving a weak wave as I walk toward the open garage door.

“Wait a second,” Caleb says. He jumps up and grabs the umbrella that’s laying on the floor. He opens it and holds it out to me. “I wouldn’t want my girl to catch a cold.”

My jaw hits the floor. “I'm not your girl.”
