Chapter Seven

“What’s up with you, girl? The nerds are over there going on again about Earth 2.0 and you haven’t even batted an eye.” Tessa pointed a thumb in the direction of some researchers chatting over a cup of coffee across from the reception desk where she and Lucy had been going over the summer tour schedule.

Lucy laughed, Tessa’s comment interrupting her thoughts. She’d been so stressed out about what had happened between her and Sam, about the way she’d overreacted when he was just trying to help yesterday. Tessa was right, of course. Normally she would’ve loved to listen in on the conversation, to hear about the latest research, but today Sam was the only thing occupying her mind.

“I told you not to call them nerds anymore,” Lucy said, jabbing Tess in the side with her elbow. “You know I almost was one of them.” Lucy gave her glare.

“You are one of them. But you’re a lot cuter. Plus, you know how to function in the normal world.”

Lucy squinted at her best friend. “What are you talking about?”

“This morning I asked Dr. Gleason what happened to his shirt, and he told me that he accidentally washed it with windshield wiper fluid rather than his wife’s laundry detergent. I swear, sometimes I can’t figure out how those smarties get their own heads on straight every morning.”

“You see nothing. Nothing like that’s going on.”

“Tell that to the grin on your face.”

Lucy had so much to say about the past few days with Sam, but for some reason, rather than sharing with her best friend, she’d kept it under wraps. Normally her bad dates in the past had been fodder for almost every conversation with Tessa, but Sam was different. She wanted to keep him to herself for now, out of the line of scrutiny. Besides, she’d been doing enough of that for the both of them, reading too much into everything that Sam said or did. That had led to her reaction the day before, and she needed to ease up on him, or he would end up running like the others.

She hadn’t given much thought to Jeremy in a long time, but suddenly there he was on her mind. It was only a year ago that she had pressed him for answers on where their relationship had been going. They had dated for two years at that point, and he seemed to be a decent guy, but he never got close to Shiloh. The two of them had never bonded the way that she and Sam had just in the past few days. When Lucy had brought up the possibility of
