Liv took her tray of food and sat across from Spencer. All day, she’d had trouble even looking at guys. Just remembering the extremely detailed anatomy lesson Mom had given her made her blush.

“So, I’m thinking that today…” Spencer’s eyebrows drew together as he studied her. “What’s up with you?”

“Nothing.” The questioning look was still on his face, so she tried to get back to the subject. “What were you saying about today?”

“I was thinking we should play volleyball. It’s a good sport to start on. Then once you get the hang of it, we’ll work up to basketball, baseball, and bike riding.”

That reminded her of the other bomb Mom had dropped on her yesterday. She was supposed to invite Spencer over. “You know how I told you my mom’s kind of overprotective?”

Spencer nodded. “Yeah, but don’t worry. Volleyball’s not much of a contact sport.”

“It’s not that. It’s… I forgot to turn on my phone yesterday and my parents called and since I didn’t answer they got all worried, and then we got home kind of late, and since I’ve been spending all this time with you…” She took a deep breath, then got to the point of her rambling. “They want to meet you. I’m supposed to invite you to dinner, and you don’t have to stay, but if you could at least come in for a few minutes and meet them, then that’s all they really want.”

Looking at Spencer’s scrunched-up expression, she knew he was about to say no.

“Are they going to ask me a ton of questions?” he said.

Liv shrugged. “I think they just want to see who I’m spending time with. We can even watch a movie or something like that, although if you have to meet them, you might as well get dinner out of it. My mom’s a good cook.”

He pushed the peaches around his tray with a fork. “Okay. We can spend this afternoon broadening your musical horizons.”

“Really? You’ll come?”

“You thought I’d say no?”

“I kinda did. I didn’t think hanging out with me would be worth the hassle.”

“In case you couldn’t tell”—Spencer swept his arm across the empty space around them—“you’re my only friend.”

“I thought you liked being a loner, though.”

His eyes lifted to hers. “Before it wasn’t a big deal, but now that I’ve gotten used to talking to you, I think I’d miss it.”

Liv smiled. But then she realized that meant he was coming to dinner.

With her parents.

…

“My mom was pretty horrified when I told her I had hot dogs,” Liv said to Spencer as he walked her to chemistry. “I don’t see why hot dogs aren’t okay but sandwich meat is.”

“Probably because hot dogs are all the leftover meats of every animal shoved into tube form.”

She stopped walking. “That’s a joke, right?”

“Does it matter? You said you liked them.”

“I did, but for future reference, there are some things I’d rather not know.”

Spencer’s mouth turned up in a mischievous smile. “Then I guess I better not mention the animal fat they inject in marshmallows to make them puffy.
