During dinner that evening, Mel’s phone chimed with another text from Gavin: “They called.”

Mel scarfed down the rest of her food and then hurried out into the frigid night air.

“What do they want us to do?” she typed, hiking back to her dorm.

“Take it to this address: 3545 Cedarwood Rd.”

“When?”

“Tomorrow after classes.”

All through tutoring hours, she couldn’t focus on anything but the package and what might be in it. It was even more distracting than Luis’s white teeth and dimples, which kept flashing at her as he talked about the holiday weekend and his family. When he asked about Mel’s Thanksgiving, she shrugged and said, “It was fine.” Her eyes darted around, hoping for someone to approach them for tutoring so she didn’t have to keep lying.

“You okay? You seem kind of preocupada,” said Luis.

“Oh. Lo siento. I just . . .”

“No hay problema. I understand. The end of semester’s getting close, and you’ve probably got a lot of homework and papers like I do.”

“Exactamente.” Melanie smiled in relief and gratitude, but guilt lurked underneath.

Luis opened the book he’d brought and flipped to a section near the end. Mel returned to reading her European history textbook. The Cold War was a state of military and political tension following World War II. . . . “Living in the shadow of a threat” . . . espionage and many secrets . . . I know a thing or two about secrets—and secret errands—now.

“Hey, um,” Luis broke into her thoughts.

“Huh?” Mel looked up and saw that his cheeks were flushed.

“Do you want to . . . well, uh, sometime, maybe—”

“Excuse me,” said a young-sounding female voice before Luis could stammer another word. “Are you guys the Spanish tutors?”

Melanie turned and saw a thin-faced girl with spiky blonde hair and a diamond stud in her nose; she looked older and tougher than she sounded. “Sí. What level are you taking?”

“Two.”

Glancing at Luis, Mel raised her eyebrows in a silent question: You or me?

“I got this,” he said with a smile that didn’t meet his eyes.

He and the level-two student moved to a separate table, and Mel watched them with fresh guilt. It was nice of Luis to give her more study time. She hoped she wasn’t treating him coldly. What had he been about to ask?
