Unlike the guys, he doesn’t touch me.
Just leaves the space open.
I settle into it on purpose.
That shuts him up.
Briefly.
He looks down at me.
I look toward the television.
“So what are we watching?”
Noah reaches for the remote.
“You don’t want to know.”
“Why?”
“Jalen picked.”
Jalen looks offended.
“It has a ninety-two percent audience score.”
“That means nothing,” Eli says.
I point at the screen.
“Play it.”
Kane leans close.
“You sure you’re staying for this?”
I look at him.
“At your place?”
“Yes.”
“All weekend?”
His expression changes.
I smile.
“We’re having a date-a-thon.”
The room quiets.
Noah looks over.
“A what?”
“A date-a-thon.”
