“Yes,” Jenna answers as she slinks in closer. “And looking for you.” She walks two fingers up my body, starting at the navel and heading toward my Adam’s apple. “You should come hunt me down when you’re done here,” she says, loud enough for Seth to hear, if he’s even paying attention. “I’ll make it worth your while...”

She hovers her fingertip a centimeter away from my bandaged nose. I flex and prepare for pain, but she spares me and pulls back at the last second.

I bite my lip, selling it. “I’ll find you,” I tell her.

She winks and snatches her ID back before I even look at it. “Good boy,” she says as she strolls into the house.

I watch her go, giving her ass a long look (Sorry, Heidi!) before turning back and checking Seth’s reaction to see if he bought it.

He leers at me, eyes wide and brows pinched. I guess he’s buying it.

“So, Jenna?” he asks as he checks the ID in his hand.

I return to my post, waving the next girl forward. “Jenna,” I say.

“Is she really the reason you turned down Tammy?”

One lie. Two lies.

What’s one more?

“Crazy enough, yeah,” I answer. I nod at the girl and give her ID back. “Welcome to Delta Xi.”

Seth chortles. “I don’t get it, man. I really don’t, but... whatever makes you happy.” He stops the guy in line and stamps the back of his hand.

“I am happy,” I say.

That one wasn’t a lie.

I am amazingly, completely, overwhelming happy.

Just not with Jenna.

With his sister.

“Okay, well...” Seth’s face screws up as if the next words bring him physical pain. “I guess I can put up with her for a night.”

“Put up with her?” I ask.

“You’re bringing her to the mask ball instead, right?”

I start to shake my head, but quickly pause.

Hey, now.

That’s not a bad idea.

“I haven’t asked her yet, actually,” I say.

“Well, the dance is tomorrow. You should hurry and ask her. Or, just a friendly suggestion here, somebody else.” He grins. “Anybody else.”

I chuckle. “Will do.”

I check the next ID. She needs a stamp. I absently pick up the ink pad, the gears in my head moving at high speed as a new plan takes shape.

Seth bobs his head at me after I wave the girl in. “Hey, you okay?” he asks.

“Yeah,” I say. “Why?”
