The buzz about Max so often fell into two camps—the people who didn’t know him and thought he was weird, and the folks who watched sports at his house and said he was a good guy.

Now that she’d gotten to know Max, the game day stories had seemed at odds with everything she knew about him, and she didn’t think he was that good an actor, so when Gavin had mentioned he was coming, she’d thought she’d come see for herself.

At least it was a football game today. She’d dated a football player in high school, which had meant sitting in the stands watching high school games and sitting on his couch watching professional games. She really didn’t care about the game, but she had a basic idea of what was going on.

And the buzz was accurate. Sports-watching Max was quite different from everyday Max. But she was sure neither was an act, which just confused her. He was so at ease with the guys and with Katie, and she didn’t see any of his little quirks on display.

Tori had been at ease, too, until he sat down and everything except the fact that his leg was pressing against hers became background noise. When he got up to throw away his plate, she’d almost sighed in relief. Then he’d been too busy being a good host to sit back down.

Somehow during the halftime seating shuffle, she’d ended up next to Katie. “Is it always like this?”

“It has been lately. At the rate he’s going, Max is going to have to build an addition soon and buy more couches. So are you coming to the Halloween party at the lodge?”

“I saw the flier taped to the door at the diner, and then Hailey texted me and told me I have to go.”

“You may as well. Everybody else will be there. Paige even said she’s going to close the diner early, even though it’s a Saturday night.”

Everybody else would be there. She wondered if Nola would be going. If Tori was a good friend, she’d probably tell Max he should call her and ask her if she was going and, if she was, if she’d like to go with him.

Maybe they could even get cutesy matching his-and-hers costumes.

“What’s the matter?” Katie asked.

“What?”

“You just made a horrible face.”

“Oh.” She was going to have to watch that. “Nothing. I remembered something I forgot to do today. Work.”

The game started up again and Katie lost interest in Tori’s facial expressions. Even though Katie’s daily attire usually advertised one of Boston’s sports teams in some way or another, Tori had no idea she was as rabid a fan as she was.

Her phone vibrated in her pocket and she pulled it out to see a text from Max.

Are you okay? You keep making faces.
