Chapter 3

Damn. I duck my head and wish I could just disappear. “Go away,” I mutter under my breath.

She doesn’t hear me. Of course not. “Jason! You bringing those bags in today or what?”

I feel his gaze burn along my back and wonder if I look as clumsy as I feel when I fumble with the luggage like a busboy on his first day of work. The bags don’t want to cooperate—they slip from my hands and tumble to the ground, clattering at my feet. He’s laughing at me, he has to be, I just know it, this geeky little kid on vacation with his parents. Who does that? I mean, at my age?

I want to go home already.

At the cabin door I dare a glance over my shoulder. He’s still there, still leaning on the railing, still watching me. I venture an exasperated smile.

He returns it with a wink. A wink, Jesus. Score!

Then he heads inside, following the girls. I can’t wait to head over there later and find out who he is.
