Tabby gapes at me. “Wait. What?”

Then she squeals and claps her hands together. She bounces on her toes. Then she bends over, clutching her chest. When she stands, her pupils are so dilated—and she’s acting so weird—I worry the corset has done more damage than she’s willing to admit.

“How?” she grabs me by my wet T-shirt then grimaces. “I’m sorry.”

I take her hands in mine. “Breathe,” I say, as much for myself as to get her to calm down.

Fear is just excitement without the breath, I tell myself. I’m going to tell her. This is it. The book club ladies said the Duke should grow some balls, and he’s about to.

First, I’ll admit that I love her and always have. Then, assuming she feels the same way, I’ll come clean about being Amelia Cameron. Tonight made it crystal clear that taking the next step with Tabs is more important to me than signing a new contract with the publisher.

We inhale and exhale together three times. She’s finally looking less crazed.

“Cam, you can’t have a copy. The publisher always sends ARCs to the library, but we haven’t gotten them yet. There hasn’t even been a release date announcement. All we’ve heard is that it’ll be sometime in September.”

“Well…” I grab my glass of wine to wet my throat, which is suddenly drier than snuff, but Tabs speaks again.

“Have you read it?”

I nod and open my mouth.

She presses her palm against my lips. “Don't say anything,” she practically shouts. “No spoilers.”

I breathe in the scent of her fingers, and my lips part, eager to kiss her.

“I said no talking!” She presses her thumb under my chin to close my mouth. “You cannot say a word until I'm done reading the entire thing!”

She runs from the kitchen to the living room, where my laptop is sitting on my desk.

Shit. Shit. Shit. It’s not formatted as an ARC, and the manuscript is open.

“No! Don’t touch my computer!” I reach her arm before her fingers touch my keyboard and bring the screen back to life. “If you touch it, the system will see me and put through a support request.”

The lie is out of my mouth before I even realize I’m talking. I am so screwed.

Tabs freezes. I gently pull her away from my desk and turn her to face me.

“I promise, I won’t say anything about the story. But you have to let me talk. There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you for… forever, Tabs.” I lead us to the couch, sit sideways crossed-legged, and pull her down to face me. She looks at my feet and smiles at my “I like big books and I cannot lie” socks.

Then she hugs herself, her expression pained. “There’s actually something I need to tell you, too. I think. I’m not sure. I’m kind of freaking out.”

No shit. She hasn’t been acting like herself since we got back to the apartment. I’d just been too caught up with telling her the truth.

I blow out a hard breath, suddenly grateful for the reprieve.
