I grab her arm.
“Abort.”
“What?”
“Abort mission.”
“Why?”
I tilt my head slightly toward the corner of the room.
Willow follows my line of sight. He’s there. Zane.
Standing near the pickup counter with Russo, both of them still in Giants hoodies, talking to the girl behind the counter while they wait for their drinks.
Unbelievable.
I turn around immediately. “Nope.”
“Leonora-”
“I cannot be seen.”
Zane laughs at something Russo says, and the sound carries across the room.
I panic.
Bathroom. Immediately.
I slip through the crowd and duck down the hallway. The bathroom door swings shut behind me with a soft click.
I lean against the sink and stare at my reflection.
“Fantastic,” I mutter.
Of course he’s here.
A minute later the door opens and Willow slips inside.
“You’re being dramatic.”
“I’m being cautious.”
Willow leans against the counter beside me, arms crossed.
“You realize this situation is extremely funny.”
“It’s not funny.”
“You’re secretly playing on his hockey team while simultaneously avoiding him as yourself.”
“Yes.”
“And he’s currently searching campus for a girl named Nora.”
“Probably not.”
“He absolutely is.”
