JULES

“So you kissed him?” Ava asks, brushing back the hair of one of the older girls for tonight's winter recital.

Harper is helping to make sure all costumes fit right and curtains open in less than thirty minutes, but the flutter of butterflies in my stomach isn’t from the impending performance. I know the kids are going to absolutely kill it, no matter what.

No, it’s the reminder that Nate and I kissed on Sunday.

Yesterday, I was out the door to the center early, hosting an adult workout class before spending the morning setting up the stage and making sure everything was ready for our Tuesday recital so I could get back to the house to get Sophie off the bus in time, not because her dad couldn’t get there, but because I knew I’d miss her if I didn’t.

When Nate came home, I was back here for the final rehearsal, and even though I didn’t go to the main house after practice, there was a wrapped plate in the microwave and a sticky note on the top reading, In case you didn’t eat. -N.

“To be fair, he kissed me.”

“Oh, so you’re telling me you didn’t kiss him back?”

I guess I can’t tell her that, can I?

“It was because Sophie was watching,” I lie terribly.

“And the second time?” Ava asks, because I’m an idiot and told her about how he walked me to the cottage, pinned me to the wall, and almost made me come right then and there.

“I…” I start then groan, letting my head drop into my hands. “I don’t know! I didn’t know.”

“It’s okay, Miss Jules,” Gina, one of the teenage dancers, says, coming over and patting my shoulder. “We all fall victim to hot guys scrambling our brains once in a while.”

“And Nate Donovan will definitely scramble anyone’s brains,” another says.

I turn to her and glare. “What do you know about Nate Donovan, Chrissy? You’re fifteen!”

“I know that when he came to renovate our kitchen last summer, my mom kept putting on her tiniest bikini, and she and my dad fought a lot at night once he left.” Well, that would do it. “And I know he’s hot. Like the surface of the sun hot. He was wearing this really tight T-shirt that was all sweaty and⁠—”

“Again, you are fifteen, Chrissy,” I shout.

“I mean, she’s not wrong,” Mrs. Johnson says with a laugh, and I glare at her, too. She’s one of the moms who offered to help get everyone ready since Claire is gone, and I was grateful at the time. But now that she’s hearing this…? “What? Everyone knows about Nate Donovan. He was a year or two under me in high school, but he’s a Donovan, you know? When I was her age, I was drooling over his dad, but now that Nate’s older?” She shrugs. “You’re an idiot not to go for that. Plus, his family is the sweetest.”

That part I couldn’t deny, as I’ve had calls from all three of his sisters over the last few days, checking in and offering any help they could.
