“WELL, this is unexpected,” Rafael said, leaning forward in the passenger seat of Aric’s car. I was used to riding shotgun, so I was a little bitter.

“Why am I in the back?”

“Because Rafael has longer legs than you,” Aric replied, scanning the line of cars parked along Mark’s street. “Do you think all these people are at Mark’s house?”

“It looks like it,” Rafael said, pointing to the house. “I see people moving on the other side of the drapes.”

“We’re supposed to be a team now that we’re getting married,” I reminded Aric. “I don’t like being in the back seat. It bugs me.”

“Shut up, Zoe,” Aric ordered, not bothering to turn around. “We’re never going to get into the back yard if he’s throwing a party.”

“Not necessarily,” Rafael said. “The neighbor’s house is dark. We could go into their back yard and either lift Zoe to look over the fence or remove one of the boards so we can see what’s going on.”

“That’s a good idea,” Aric said, killing his engine. “Let’s do that.” He turned back to me. “Put on your hat and cover your hair.”

“Not until you apologize for telling me to shut up.”

“Fine. Stay here.” Aric hopped out of the Explorer, easing the door shut. He moved in tandem with Rafael as they walked toward the sidewalk.

I watched them for a moment, frustrated, and then shoved the door open. I tugged my hair beneath the knit cap and followed them, pulling up short when I realized I’d lost sight of them. I opened my mouth to call for Aric and then snapped it shut. I couldn’t claim wild ninja skills if I started shouting when we were trying to spy on someone.

Aric’s hand shot out of the nearby bushes and he jerked me behind the scratchy shrubbery, shaking his head as Rafael opened the neighbor’s gate. Aric waited until the gate was shut before speaking.

“You drive me crazy. You know that, right?”

“Have you ever considered that you drive me crazy, too?” I challenged.

“What have I done to you?”

“You made me ride in the back seat.”

“You’ll be walking home if you don’t let this go,” Aric warned. “I’m serious.”

“I’m serious,” I mimicked, earning a smile from Rafael.

“Every time I think I’ve moved on from the teenage angst of Covenant College something happens to draw me back in,” Rafael said. “You make me feel old.”

“Aric feels old, too. It’s not just you.”

“You’re really pushing your luck, Zoe,” Aric said, tilting his head so he could listen inside the dark house before focusing his attention on the back fence. “I don’t hear anyone outside, but we need to be quiet anyway.”

“Yes, sir.” I clicked the back of my tennis shoes together and mock saluted. Instead of the frown I expected, the corners of Aric’s mouth tipped up. “That’s not supposed to turn you on.”

“How did you know that’s what I was thinking?”

“Maybe I can read your mind,” I said, blowing past him and moving to the privacy fence. It was wooden and tall, but there was a small hole in one of the knots that I could see through.
