Chapter 13

“I don’t needyou to come by, but you’re welcome to.”

Keri’s frank gaze offers Dayla more questions than it answers. Is she interested in taking things between them farther? Is she attracted to Dayla the way Dayla’s attracted to her? Is it too soon to hope so yet?

The moment stretches out between them, the silence growing awkward. Keri holds Dayla’s gaze, but if she’s waiting for a response, Dayla isn’t sure what to say. Thanks? Yes? Please?

Finally Keri tucks a stray curl behind her ear. “Hey, you got any other plans tonight?”

Dayla shakes her head. “Just go home and go to bed. Why?”

“You want to hang out here for a bit?” Keri shrugs, nonchalant. “I mean, I’m not promising anything too exciting, but maybe we can find something to watch on TV, or something? How’s that sound?”

With a smile, Dayla admits, “It sounds like a pretty good time to me.”
