flushed from the cool air. “Hey.”
“Hi,” I say, not in the mood for small talk.
“I just… I just wanted to let you know I don’t usually hang around with him.
With Derek, I mean.”
“Yeah, well, it’s none of my business.” I open the car door.
“Where are you going now?” She’s smiling, sort of embarrassed.
“I’m not sure. Probably to the golf course or something.”
“By yourself?”
“It’s one of those nights, I guess.”
“Mind if I come?” She looks at me when she says it, and her tone is kind of playful. Flirty almost. I hesitate. Going to the golf course alone, at night, with a girl and a twelve-pack is definitely not something a guy with a girlfriend should be doing. On the other hand, how is Natalia my girlfriend if I’m not allowed to see her? And if she doesn’t even act like she wants to see me? I think about the way she turned away from the window like that, leaving me there, standing in her driveway.
I take a deep breath. “Sure,” I say to Kaci. “Hop in.”
