Tuesday and Wednesday were easier with Miles not coming into work since he needed to focus on the food truck while Anthony was still sick. Clarissa had reached out to a friend who had two bored teenagers who needed more spending money, so they’d come in and helped in the kitchen with basic stuff, like dishes and prep work, until everyone recovered from the stomach bug that was going around.

I’d felt stressed out that the competition was right around the corner, and I had less than a week to finish preparing for it. What was supposed to be a fun, lighthearted way to shut Miles up had turned into something huge and terrifying for me, knowing that Luka would be judging it.

I’d gotten to Ambrosia Thursday afternoon before Miles and was busy working on the menu for next week when he’d walked in.

“Hey,” he said happily, sending my heart pitter-pattering in my chest.

“Hi.”

His brows furrowed slightly at my tone as he went to his station and set his stuff down.

“Everything alright?”

“Fine.” I kept my head down and tried to remember what I was supposed to be doing.

I tried taking slow, soothing breaths to help calm me, but when he stood beside me and I felt his gaze on me, it stopped working.

“Kat,” he said more as a warning than my name.

“What?” I refused to look up at him. I wrote down a bunch of random notes, not sure that I’d have any idea what they were supposed to mean later when I felt his hand close over mine to stop me.

“What’s going on?”

“Nothing, I’m just busy.” Giving up, I dropped the pen and pulled my hand out of his grasp. I tried to keep the emotion off my face, but as his eyes searched my face, I knew he could read me.

“Bullshit.”

“Excuse me?” I folded my arms over my chest and tilted my head.

“I said that’s bullshit. Something is wrong, I can see it all over your face.”

“You don’t know me well enough to read my mood from my face.”

“I know you better than you think.”

He kept his spot next to me and leaned a hip against the counter, effectively pinning me in the corner again. Why did he always have to find a way to trap me in such close proximity?

“Now I’m calling bullshit,” I snorted but felt my neck tingle as a blush crept up as he lifted a finger and rubbed it across his bottom lip. My eyes were laser-focused on the action as my body betrayed me again and leaned slightly toward him.

He waited me out for a few minutes, playing with his lip as if it didn’t have a catastrophic impact on me. He knew it did, I could see it in his eyes as they lit up every time I watched him.

“Is this about what happened on Monday?” he asked gently.

I rolled my eyes and shook my head.

“That’s what I thought.”

“Because you just happen to know everything?” I bit out sarcastically.

“More than you think.”

“Okay, fine, yes, I’m upset about what happened on Monday.
