Cathy was pressed up against a wall in the bar, nursing a drink, waiting for her chance to talk with Peter again. When Brandi announced that it was time for the limbo contest on the front deck, the two women hanging on Peter like tinsel on a Christmas tree squealed and scurried outside. She swore they left a trail of body glitter in their wake. But Peter was finally standing alone in the corner. “Yes!” Cathy said to herself, hurrying over and trying to shake away the image of herself as a gigantic hawk swooping through the air.

Peter spotted her and held up his beer to her. “Hey there, Cathy Blake.”

“It’s hard to get a moment alone with you,” she said.

“After ten years, there are a lot of people to catch up with.” He smiled and she was wowed again by just how handsome he really was.

Not knowing if she’d get the chance to be alone with him again, she inhaled, tipped up her chin, and bit her lip. “Wanna hear something crazy?” Her voice sounded impressively sexy. All that rehearsing was paying off.

One corner of Peter’s mouth quirked up. “Crazy sounds like fun.”

Blinking, she looked down, the subtle rocking of the boat making her woozy. The drinks were probably contributing to that, too. Nelly’s “Hot in Herre” was playing in the background and she could remember that song blasting in the gym during the winter formal senior year. She’d spent most of the time watching Peter dance with his date. But here he was now, right in front of her. She had to do it. She looked up at him. “I loved you in high school.” It came out as a whisper.

He tilted his head. “What? I didn’t quite catch that.”

She set her hand on her chest and raised her voice. “I said, ‘I loved you in high school.’ I had such a crush on you.” Her lip wobbled and she hoped the wine wouldn’t start her blubbering. Confessing a crush was an emotional moment.

“You did?” Out came the one-corner grin again.

“We kind of kissed at a party after homecoming. Right before you threw up.”

He frowned. “I don’t remember anything from homecoming.” His gaze dipped from her face to take in the rest of her. “But you had a crush on me? You should have said something.”

“I wh…wait…what?” Her jaw dropped and her mind spun. She couldn’t even get her words out right. Did he mean he would’ve been interested? Her lip trembled again and she pressed her fingers against her mouth.

Then a huge arm reached between them, grabbing Peter’s shoulder. “Dude, you are missing it. Katrina’s doing body shots on the deck. Come on!” One of Peter’s friends pulled him out of the corner, and Peter shrugged and made an apologetic face as he was led away.

Cathy stood there. What the hell had just happened? And where was Selena to help her figure this out?
