Sasha hasn’t stopped grinning all night. From the moment Dane turned up at our door, as we piled into our Uber, and even as we stepped through the doors of the venue, Sasha’s brown lined lips have been pulled into a wide smile.

If Dane’s noticed anything off about her tonight, he hasn’t mentioned it.

“Can you stop?” I hiss when the two of us finally get a brief moment alone as Dane and Wes head to the bar to get us some drinks.

“Stop what?” Sasha says, her voice an innocent sing-song.

“You know exactly what you’re doing.”

“I’m having a great time with my boyfriend and my best friend and her–” Sasha gives a deliberate and dramatic pause as she pretends to think. “Hm. How would you describe your relationship with Dane?”

“We’re friends,” I grit out. “So you can stop all of this now.”

She flutters her eyelashes at me, a picture of innocence. “Stop what?”

If Sasha wasn’t my very best friend in the world, I think I might throttle her. I still might. “I mean it, Sash’. You’re making it weird.”

“Sorry,” Sasha says with what looks like genuine remorse. “It’s just. Well. You guys are cute together.”

“But we’re not together. We’re just friends,” I manage to grit out.

Just. Friends.

“Only because you’re stubborn as hell,” Sasha mumbles, quiet enough that I can pretend like I didn’t hear. She nods at something over my shoulder and gives me an exasperated look. “Anyone can see that he’s all about you.”

I glance behind me just in time to see Dane and Wes pushing through the crowd again, each holding two drinks in their hands. Wes makes an automatic beeline for Sasha, but Dane gets caught up in the crowd.

A tall, pretty girl with long, passion twists stops him halfway across the room. I can’t hear what she says over the music, but her body language is unmistakable. She leans in, her chest brushing against his, and whispers something into his ear. Dane’s face breaks out into a pleased grin, but instead of nodding enthusiastically and quickly disappearing into a dark corner of the club with her like I expect, he just shakes his head.

The girl pouts, says something else that makes him laugh, and then disappears back into the crowd with her friends. As soon as she’s gone, Dane looks up and catches my eye.

“That’s right,” Sasha murmurs, looking incredibly pleased with herself. “Like I said, he’s all about you.”

Wes gives me a look that suggests he’s in full agreement with Sasha.

“Traitor,” I mouth in his direction. My phone vibrates in the pocket of my jeans, but I ignore it.

Sasha and Wes quickly dance their way into the crowd, Sasha’s hips swaying in time with the uptempo beat blaring from the speakers.

“What was that about?” Dane asks as he appears in front of me again and hands me my drink. “How come they left you?”

“No idea,” I lie, before taking a sip from my drink. It’s a sickeningly sweet cocktail and the bubbly warmth sliding down my throat gives me a little boost.
