“Oh.” She nods. The light in her eyes dims, and she drags her teeth over her lip and turns her back to me. “Oh. Okay. I get it.”
“What? What do you get?”

Why does she know that? What if it were me saying I loved last night, can we do it again? Has someone else done this to her recently? I feel like a double ass now.

“Gideon,” she snaps and looks at me over her shoulder. “It happened. You kissed me. I kissed you back. Don’t worry about it. I won’t tell Chloe.”
Is that what she thinks? That I’m afraid of Chloe?
“I just…” I sigh and drop to sit on the stool at the end of the bar. “I like annoying you. We could be friends.”
“Good, because you’re really good at it,” she promises me. “Will you get plates out?”

“How did you know I like strawberries?”
“Just a wild guess.” I tuck that little fib away with the other one and get out the silverware and napkins.
