Soren knew how badly | felt and offered sgentlemanly consolation. “It’s fine to let your hair down and have

“Besides, I'm the only one who saw this other side of you. No one else has, right?”
He lowered his voice humorously. “This could be a secret... just between the two of us.”
Something was sparkling in his eyes. It almost madethink it could be something more.
My embarrassment deepened. My cheeks burned even more and my heart raced.
And my mind-oh God-was starting to fantasize again.

He looked so earnest and insistent that | could only nod in return.
The elevator arrived, and Michael held the door open while Soren and | entered.

principal.
“I met Mr. Kennedy that evening. He seemed to be following us and ended up staking out the place for the whole
