Chapter 65

• Lydia and Sam must have seen something in my expression because they both gave me odd looks and glanced at Mark. By then a small crowd gathered around us. I saw some of Sam’s friends giving me smiles and nods. Lydia was giving Mark a measured look.
• “No, it’s not too late,” I said to Sam, then I shot a glare Mark’s direction to make sure he knew it was too late for him. Just then Bethany walked up with Collen trailing behind her like a puppy. I looked back to Sam and forced a smile. “I’d love to take you to the turn-about dance.”
• “You’re going with her?” Bethany gasped. My bestie and first lover had been so angry about Joe breaking things off with her that she’d ignored me for a week. Now she appeared furious I was openly taking Sam to the dance.
