I nodded at her.“You got some moves.I’m not sure what they are, but you’ve got them.”

There was no heat behind her glare as she responded, “That was art, thank you very much.”

Chapter Sixteen

We were taking a breakwhen someone suddenly appeared by the table.I practically jumped out of my seat.Seth rubbed my back as Toby stared down at me, looking a little sheepish.

“Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.”

“Oh.No.Don’t worry,” I said.“How’d you get here?What are you doing here?”

Toby looked out at the crowd briefly.“I figured this would be a good distraction.I was able to talk Bryan into dropping me off.”

“He isn’t here?”Seth asked.

Toby shook his head as we scooched over and made room for him to sit with us.“Naw, he has to head home.His mother summoned him.”

Seth frowned briefly.“I’ll give him a call in the morning to make sure everything is all right.”

“You don’t have to,” I said.“I’m doing a brunch thing with him tomorrow.I can make sure he’s okay.”

“Really?”Seth actually seemed surprised.

“Uh, yeah, of course.It’s not anything hard.”

“Okay.”

“Okay,” I replied, confused.

Why did Seth seem so surprised by the offer?
