After the second set of exams for any class on a three-exam schedule, Sanders decided it would probably be best if we had another house party. And since the rest of us had agreed, the exams having been difficult, and most of us in need of a night off, it was our turn to host. That’s how we ended up with a house filled to the rafters once again, people making out, laughing, arguing, and just having a good time. There was beer, some liquor, and a lot of food. The food was thanks to Pacey’s contacts, and I did my best not to think about exactly how he had ended up with those. Pacey seemed to know everybody, but then again, so did Tanner. However, Tanner didn’t seem to talk to anyone. I wasn’t sure how that worked out, but if it got more food for the house that I didn’t have to pay for or make, I was happy.

“I have no idea how you can stand having so many people in your house,” Elise said, standing next to me. I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and kissed the top of her head. I ignored the looks of some of the partygoers. This was our first time attending a party as a couple, and we were still trying to figure out what that meant. Others would talk, they would nose around, and I planned to ignore them. I just hoped Elise could.

“I don’t know. It doesn’t bother me all that much. Maybe it did at one point. But I pushed those thoughts from my mind. They can’t get into my room, so it’s not like I feel as if they’re in my space.

She nodded. “I suppose that makes sense. You have your family brewery, and now you have a place where people come to drink and have a good time. It just happens to be right under your bedroom.”

“We can always leave. Either go back to your place or lock ourselves in my bedroom. Or maybe even go to a café or something if this is too much.”

She shrugged and took a sip of her beer. “No, this is good. I don’t mind. I mean, I did get to meet you here.”

“I thought you met me at the coffee shop.”

“No, I saw you from afar, and it started the whole dare thing.” She winked, and I fell even harder.

“I, for one, am glad for the dare.” It’s as much as I would go into actually voicing my feelings, and she seemed to get that.

“Is that Miles?” she asked, and I looked over to where she pointed and then nodded. “Yes. I think he’s dating that girl, Tiffany. Or at least they hang out a lot.”

“I don’t know her. I think I saw her with him last time, though.”

“Yes, they’re very competitive when
