It hits me harder than expected. Seth made it happen for me, but I don’t care.
I don’t even want it.
“You’re speechless,” Seth says, patting my shoulder. “That’s good.”
“Yeah,” I say, swallowing hard. “I am.”
Because I’m seeing your little sister behind your back.
And I think I’m in love with her.
CHAPTER 25
HEIDI
We need to talk.
We need to talk.
Talk about what?!
Drew said it wasn’t serious, so I shouldn’t worry, right?
But he also said it’s not unimportant, so I should worry a little, right? Not unimportant means important. Drew has something important to talk to me about.
At least I brought home carbs.
I park in the driveway next to Jenna’s car and do a quick scan of the street. Drew never parks in front of the house, usually around the block somewhere. He could be inside right now, waiting to tell me something non-serious but important.
I hold my breath as I open the front door.
Jenna’s token cackle carries from elsewhere in the house. The kitchen, by the sounds of it. I silently kick off my shoes, listening to her as she talks to… someone else in the room.
Drew laughs loudly. So, he is here. He’s in my kitchen, laughing with my roommate, and waiting to tell me something important but not serious.
I linger in the hall outside the kitchen. Drew sits at the table, laughing as hard as Jenna is. She’s standing, so it’s clearly one of her full-body tall tales that change slightly with each retelling.
Jenna spots me in the doorway. “Well, hello!” she says.
Drew turns in his chair to look at me. His laugh fades, but his warm smile remains.
I wave at them. “Hi,” I say.
“I was just entertaining your gentleman caller.”
“Oh, really?”
Drew nods. “She was delighting me with the story of the time she got arrested.”
I chortle. “Which time?”
“Hey, now!” Jenna chuckles. “It was the first time, thank you.”
“Ah! That’s a good one!” I set the bag of fries on the table in front of Drew. “Fries, as promised.”
He hooks his arm around me. “Thank you,” he says before digging his nose into my side and smelling me. “I love having a girlfriend who works at a diner. You always come back smelling like maple syrup.”
I freeze. Even Jenna leans forward.
