Worst. Idea. Ever.

I moaned in misery as Maverick found an old T-shirt and used it to wipe my mouth.

At least I hadn’t puked on the guy. Just...at his feet.

I slumped back in the seat with another moan.

Yeah, that made it all better.

He hovered over me now, his eyes filled with concern. “Better?”

I nodded. Oddly enough, I was a little better.

Miserable, but better. At least the truck’s cab had stopped spinning. “I’m sorry.”

He ran a hand over my hair, and I moaned again but this time in relief. His skin was rough but cool, and it felt amazing. Well, as amazing as anything could feel right now.

“Let’s get you home, huh?” His voice was all low and rumbly, and only the thought of how rank my breath must be kept me from leaning forward and resting my head against his chest again.

That had been nice.

Really, really nice.

He started to walk away and panic hit me smack in the chest. “Wait.” I reached for him, getting a handful of his T-shirt and hanging on. He was everything solid right now, and not just because he wasn’t swaying or spinning like the rest of the world had been for a second there.

He was here and he wasn’t judging, and he didn’t expect me to smile, and he didn’t expect me to flirt. He was taking care of me and I...I had no idea how to tell him how much that meant to me. “Thank you.”

He leaned over and surprised the heck out of me by kissing the top of my head. “Don’t thank me. We’re friends, right?”

“Friends,” I repeated. But it didn’t totally feel right on my tongue.

Then again, my tongue felt just as useless as every other muscle in my body.

“You think you can face your parents?” he asked.

I shook my head. “No way. But Willow probably wouldn’t mind if I crashed with her.”

He glanced over his shoulder and I followed to find Willow talking to a crowd of guys. I couldn’t make them out, but I could spot her giant bun anywhere. “Huh. Willow is doing better at a party than I am.” I shook my head. “Never mind. I guess I’m going home.”

He studied me for a long moment. “I have a better idea.” He pulled out his phone and shot off a text and then shut the passenger side door, coming around to climb in behind the wheel.

“Text your parents that you’re staying at Willow’s,” he said. “She’ll cover for you.”

I stared at him. Puking up that last beer had helped, but my brain still felt cloudy. “Where will I be staying for real?”

He shot me a little smile and my heart seemed to jump. He should warn people before he smiled. It was startling. Although, not in a bad way.

“My grandparents have a cabin just down the road,” he said. “We can crash there until you’re feeling better.”

We. My mind focused on that one word. We could crash there.

My mouth went dry, and my head started to spin again.
