When would be a good time to see Annie? I can pick her up.

I shrug. “Sure. But don’t get your hopes up, Hales.”

Her eyes shine. “I will do whatever I want with my hopes, Jax.”

The earnestness in her expression has me shaking my head. It’s cute that she’s so optimistic still about the world and her place in it.

“I don’t get why old guys date younger women. They can’t keep up.” I stiffen, realizing my mistake. “And by ‘date’ I mean hypothetically.”

“Dammit, and here I was going to invite you to meet my father.” She shoots me a look that puts me in my place.

I curse. “I deserve that. I just meant that I didn’t plan this, Hales. And you know I like being around you, but…”

“You’re not looking to settle down with someone,” Haley finishes. “I’m not either, Jax. I’m twenty-one. I’m just trying to live through graduation.”

The words should relieve me.

When the show ends, she picks out a wildlife documentary. As I try to lose myself in it, my stomach turns over.

Not because the idea of dating her is so offensive.

Because it isn’t.

I never thought of myself as the kind of person who’d want to date someone. I really don’t even know what dating means.

My guess is it involves being in the same place as someone else for more than a few days, which for years is something I haven’t been.

Plus, people who date have sex. It’s pretty much guaranteed.

But they also have this.

The pizza and the Netflix.

The long looks and the secrets and the inside jokes.

Haley seems like the kind of woman who’d go on dates.

As opposed to the kind who shows up at your house and seduces you.

Although she was scary good at—

“Whoa!” I jerk upright so fast Haley grabs the couch for balance. “Is that a leopard?”

The thing jumps into the lake and eats an alligator.

“I told you,” she says, triumphant.
