“You didn’t like that?” he asked when they were out of the tub and drying off.
“It was okay,” she said.
“Just okay?”
“Except for the part where I almost drowned.”
He laughed. “Sorry about that. Guess we should stick to dry land.”
“Sounds like a good idea.”A better idea would have been for you to propose, so that I could show off my new engagement ring at the party on Saturday night. Guess that’s not happening.
“You all right?” he said.
“Sure. Why do you ask?”
“I don’t know. You seem a little distracted. What are you thinking about?”
“Did you know that Paige is bringing a date to my father’s party?” Heather asked in reply.
Noah stopped drying his legs and stood up straight. “No. How would I know that? Who is it?”
“Does it matter?”
He shrugged. “Just curious.” He grabbed his bathrobe from a hook on the door. “I’m gonna go watch the game,” he said.
“What about dinner?”
“I think there’s some leftovers in the fridge.”
Not to mention, the one standing right here,Heather thought as he walked from the room. She could tell by the slump of his shoulders that he was more than just curious about the man Paige would be bringing to the party.
He was upset.
