“You’re not wearing a bowtie,” Franco pointed out as he unwrapped his steak burrito. “You also weren’t wearing one yesterday.”

Caleb paused, a nacho chip halfway into his mouth. “You noticed.” Ginny hadn’t even noticed that about him earlier. Embarrassed, he shoved in the chip and munched furiously.

“Oh, I’m starting to notice things about you, Caleb.” Franco shot him a grin that he felt down to his curled up toes.

“Is that all you’re having?” Franco gestured to his nacho plate. “I’m starting to think you have food issues.”

“Big breakfast,” Caleb lied. How could he possibly concentrate on food when Franco was right there, saying things that liquefied his insides? Besides, Caleb wasn’t a fan of Mexican food.

They ate in silence for a while, surrounded by the pleasant buzz of diners. It was Caleb’s first time to have lunch outside the university. In fact, Caleb had been experiencing a lot of his firsts with Franco.

“So I’m thinking we should continue celebrating.” Franco grinned, running his palm against his cropped hair, which was starting to grow out. “Coming out party part two.”

“Sure. I have no plans this weekend,” Caleb replied.

“I firmly believe that there’s no time better than the present. Sometimes you’ve got to take risks.” He leaned across the table. “Have you ever cut class?”

The question took Caleb by surprise. “Uh . . . no.”

Franco grinned, spreading out his arms, making his shirtfront stretch on the contours of his chest. “Well? There’s a first time for everything.”
