I don't want to go on more dates. I want Michelle. Not as a friend. Not as a fling. I want her. But I know who I am, and I know what our situation is.

I keep anticipating that he'll look at me. I'm buzzing with nerves. My knee bounces on the floor. See me, see me, see me. Finally, he does. And our gazes snag. They always do.

I open my eyes and find Cliff staring. His mouth is in a straight line. I hate that I can read Cliff like a book. And while I've never seen him like this, process of elimination tells me this is a new type of irritation, aimed directly at me.

I knock on the door to Bird & Breakfast. I shake my head and bite my cheek. I'm embarrassed for myself. When was the last time I knocked on any door in Copper Run? "Hi," she says on an exhale.

Somewhere in the last month, we've become inseparable, and I don't know when it started. I can imagine the smell of rosemary in her hair and taste the cinnamon on her lips. She's leaving in two months -two months- which adds a wrinkle to everything.

I don't need to feel my heart beating faster. And I definitely don't need to confirm my newest secret. I like Cliff Burke.
Like, like, as Emily might say.

The gentle smile that spreads over his lips sends a warmth trailing over me, rising up my neck to my cheeks. "I think that's enough feelings talk from me right now," I murmur.

"You're a good person to smile around," Cliff says, taking a bite. He does things like that, giving casual compliments like it's Halloween candy. I never know how to react, and I used to think that was his intention.

I expected Cliff to be irritated that I'd started without him, but instead, he laughed at my proac-tiveness. I'm quickly realizing that not much bothers Cliff Burke.

He chuckles, threading a hand through his floppy hair, which somehow never seems to land in a place he's comfortable with. "Michelle, if you want my help, you've got to listen to me once in a while."

I give an extra little push, rising to only two chair legs. Cliff's eyes dart over, catching mine in the process. My heart drops, and the toe of my shoe suddenly leaves the ground. No, no, no!
