I giggle. Then, because I’m going to humiliate myself if I don’t stage an intervention for myself, I step away from him. “I really need to go if I’m going to be ready in time.” I drag myself farther from him to gather my clothes, which I left on the stiff couch in the living room, and get my keys from the bookcase next to the door where Caleb dropped them last night.
He leans against the doorway of the game room, watching me when I leave. His hands are in the pockets of his sweats, and he looks …Mmmmmm. There is just no other way to describe it.
I wave as I pull open the door, and he waves back, smiling. I’m giddy right now, so I can’t even imagine how wide the grin is splitting my cheeks. I pull the door shut behind me and give a quiet squeal.
I cannot believe that agreeing to be Caleb’s fake girlfriend for a wedding totally worked.

Saw Malia’s car at Caleb’s *very* late last night. It’s possible he isn’t lying about dating her.
Devin
How late
Law
Caleb
Bro
How in the world did you see Malia’s car at my apartment
Law
Saw it on my way back from getting chocolate for Carlie. That dark chocolate caramel stuff she likes from Target.
Caleb
My house is not on the way back from Target.
Jett
Caleb
Also you would have to drive THROUGH my parking lot to have seen her car.
Law
I was avoiding construction

Caleb
Bro. Shouldn’t you be getting ready for a wedding or something.
Law
Carlie
