Madeline gasped and turned it into a cough as her leg brushed against Ethan’s beneath the table. Her father gave her a strange look, which she ignored, hoping he wouldn’t comment on her cough. He didn’t and she relaxed slightly, going back to spreading marmalade on a slice of toast.

To say that this morning’s breakfast was a little bit awkward would be like saying that slitting someone’s throat was a little bit bloody. Madeline was hyperaware of Ethan sitting beside her, drinking orange juice and eating a croissant. Every time she so much as glanced at him, her body pulsed, sending a wave of pain through her. Her center was tender from last night and even without the throbbing desire Ethan was causing within her, she found herself shuffling constantly, trying to find a more comfortable position to sit in.

“Madeline, are you okay?” Ruth asked. “You’re quiet and you seem… I don’t know… fidgety?”

“Oh, I’m fine,” Madeline said, feeling heat in her cheeks. “Maybe a little bit hungover, but nothing I can’t handle.”

Ruth nodded, accepting her explanation.

“Good party last night, then?” her father asked.

She dared to risk a sideways glance at Ethan and she grinned.

“The best,” she said.

“So, what do you kids have planned for today, then?” Ruth asked brightly. “Vic and I were thinking of going up to the park for a picnic lunch if either of you want to join us.”

“I don’t think so, Mom,” Ethan said.

Madeline felt lust and nerves pulsing through her body. She and Ethan were going to be alone together. Anything might happen. Except nothing could happen and they both knew it. No wonder the atmosphere around the breakfast table felt weird.

“Madeline? What about you?” Ruth probed.

“Oh, I’ll probably be hanging out with Charlie. Thanks, though. And besides, you don’t want Ethan and me ruining your romantic picnic,” Madeline grinned.

“I’m not sure romantic is the right word,” Vic laughed. “The Hansons are joining us.”

“Ugh, then that’s a definite no from me,” Madeline said with a shudder. “Those two and their constant PDA are more than I can handle.”

Vic and Ruth laughed. Madeline bit into her toast and shuffled in her seat. Her leg bumped against Ethan’s again, and it was too much. It might be easier if they were alone, but with Vic and Ruth sitting there, it was just wrong. She jumped to her feet.

“I’ve just remembered I left my straightener plugged in,” she lied, rushing from the room.

She went to her room and sat down on her bed to finish her slice of toast. She picked her cell phone up, ready to text Charlie and apologize for running out on her. As her fingers touched the cell phone, it buzzed and she grinned. Charlie had obviously gotten sick of waiting for her news.

The text wasn’t from Charlie, though. It was from Lee. He was asking her to have lunch with him today. She wrote out a text apologizing but saying no, but then she deleted it. She couldn’t be with Ethan. She might as well give Lee a chance.
