“BE RIGHT BACK.” TORI’S whisper barely carried over the explosions on screen. They were in the center of the aisle, which meant Riley didn’t have to move, but everyone else down the aisle did.

Riley gave her a half nod. With Tori on one side and Archer on the other, she felt too far from Zane. Which was good—or was it bad—since she still regretted ending the earlier part of their night so abruptly. She was reading too much into things. The entire point of fooling around with Zane was to keep her from thinking she’d fallen for yet another guy.

She couldn’t believe how much it hurt though, when Archer implied Zane might hook up with Mikki. Riley felt like her heart had been squeezed into a tiny ball.

But to realize Zane hadn’t even seen it coming. To hear him brush the entire idea off... She’d been so relieved.

When someone dropped into the seat next to her, she glanced to see if it was Tori, or someone she should evict. When she saw Zane, her heart fluttered, and she turned her attention back to the screen. Despite her half-assed attempt to ignore him, the heat of his arm a few inches from hers and the familiar scent of his cologne made it difficult.

He set a box of Red Vines on her knee. His warm breath brushed her ear. “You should eat.”

“Thanks.” She kept her gaze forward, hating her body for reacting to the contact.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw him intertwine his fingers in his lap and slump lower in the seat. She tapped her toes inside her shoes. She wouldn’t make a big deal out of his gesture, even though he had brought her favorite candy, and it was reminding her she’d skipped dinner.

She couldn’t help it. She tilted her head toward him and kept her voice low so she wouldn’t disrupt anyone else. “How did you get Tori to switch seats with you?”

He kept his mouth near her ear, the heat filling her with another pleasant rush she didn’t want to acknowledge. “Intercepted her in the hallway.”

Warmth spread through her at the gesture that summoned memories of the afternoon in the mountains. She already had trouble focusing on the on-screen love interest, who would almost definitely be gone by the next film in the franchise. “We’re not a couple. We don’t have to sit together.” She loved that he did these things for her. The tiny acts without thought. But she didn’t want him to feel obligated. Didn’t like the voice asking if it was because they were screwing now, even though she knew it was something he’d always done.

“I know.” The two words fell softly against her cheek. “But we would have before.”

She tried to hide her smirk at the sound logic, and failed. “Touché.”

He bumped his shoulder against hers. “Can I have some of your candy?”

She sank into her seat, arm next to his on the rest. “I guess. Just this once.”

As the movie tore on, her mood continued to lighten.
