“You hesitated.”

“I did not.”

“You did.”

“I was trying to figure out how to explain it without you acting like this.”

“Like what?”

“Annoying.”

I laughed and peered out the window for a second. “You’re mad.”

He went quiet, which was all I needed.

“Wow.” I smirked.

“Don’t.”

“You are.”

“I’m not.”

“You totally are.”

He pulled to a stop at a red light and finally looked at me. “You done?”

“Not even close.”

He rolled his eyes.

“This is my favorite thing to happen all day.” I beamed.

“You won gold today.”

“And somehow you being jealous is better.”

The light turned green, and he pulled forward again. After a second, he muttered, “Fine. I didn’t like watching those guys all over you.”

My eyes widened. “What?”

“You heard me.”

I definitely had.

I sat there for a second, staring at him, then smiled before I could stop it. “Keaton.”

“Don’t make it worse.”

“You were so jealous.”

He didn’t deny it.

I laughed under my breath. “You were.”

He turned onto the freeway entrance ramp. Shaking his head, he said, “I’m never saying anything again.”

“No, keep talking. This is great.”
