“Your family is as crooked as mine!” Cam throws her head back and laughs hours later, when the drama subsides and both Bakers have left to lick Kyle’s wounds. “Your mom hit the dude, your dad was fighting with some other dude, and the security feed wasn’t switched on.” She smacks my arm as I lean against the hood of my car and she walks laps in front of me. “Damn, Secretary, but we aren’t so different at all.”

Snorting, I fold my arms over my chest to combat the cold. Cam wears jeans and a coat. Not enough layers, but the cold doesn’t seem to affect her as she walks and burns energy to stay warm. “And you got to see Sophia Solomon take care of business the way she knows how.”

“I can’t believe I sorta met Sophia Solomon today.” She stops walking and turns to me with awe in her eyes. “She was right there! She’s famous, ya know?” She steps closer until I simply open my legs and allow her in between. “I don’t mean because of Checkmate, or because of who she married. I don’t mean because she was on the TV for Stacked Deck, and I don’t mean for a billion other reasons. I mean…” She pulls in a heady breath, then lets it out on a smile. “She’s famous for dancing. She was at least a half dozen of the YouTube clips I watched when I was growing up, but I swear, she was perfectly proper in the videos. Not like she was today.”

She stops, and rests her hands on my shoulders. “I’m star-struck,” she sighs. “Because I almost met Sophia freakin’ Solomon.”

“Almost?” I chuckle. “I was right there. You met her.”

“But I swallowed my tongue,” she counters. “I was the big dope who couldn’t talk properly. So instead of saying it was nice to meet her, or hell, ‘you’re famous and amazing, and if science allowed it, I’d have your babies,’ what did I say?”

I drop my eyes and snort.

“I said yeah. Yeah!” she repeats on a cry of despair. “She said ‘hey, my name is Sophia.’ I said yeah! She said it was nice to meet me. I said yeah!” She claws at her face and cries at the moon. “She asked if I was a dance fan, and I said, ‘nice to meet you too’. Ugh! Shoot me now, Jamie Kincaid. Because I have no reason to live.”

“You’re dramatic as fuck.” I take her hands, tug them away from her face, and grin when her butt chin winks and draws my eyes. “This is fun.”

“What’s fun?” she demands. “And no it’s not! It’s mortifying.”

“This version of you. This nervous, insecure version. I’ve only met the mean Cam, the bitter one who has a comeback for everything. But now you’re nervous… and shit, that’s kinda sexy in itself.”

Her dramatics stop. Her growls, her cries, her rendition of what happened inside. It all stops as her eyes come back to me and her pupils grow.
