Quinn was too perceptive for her own good.

Why do you let your family believe you're so shallow?

She'd known him for a handful of hours, and she could already see through him.

Josie had always been able to do the same thing. Like magic, she'd known he was lying to his high school history teacher about the paper he hadn't had time to complete because he'd been working, trying to keep his family's electricity on. He'd told the teacher he'd forgotten to put the paper in his backpack and asked if he could bring it the next day. Not that he could've done it then either, not with another shift as a busboy for the local cafe on his schedule.

Everyone in Sawyer Creek had known about his parents' split, known that their single mother was barely able to function and hold down her multiple jobs.

The teacher had given him a break.

And Wilder had caught Josie watching him on his way back to his seat from the teacher's desk.

He'd done what he'd learned to do. Covered his embarrassment with a smile, adding a flirtatious wink to the new girl, who'd arrived halfway through their sophomore year.

She hadn't giggled or looked away, feigning shyness, as the other girls always did. She'd just stared at him, her gaze unwavering until he himself had to look away to take his seat.

He hadn't been able to finish the essay before he'd crashed after long hours on his feet, arms aching from scrubbing so many plates. But when he'd arrived in class the next morning, he'd found several sheets of paper face-down on his seat. She'd completed the assignment and put his name on it.

She'd had a way of looking inside him, right from the very start. He missed that.

He shoved those thoughts away, his sudden shift jerking the wheel slightly. Quinn, who'd been staring out her window, startled.

"Sorry," he muttered. "Thought I saw a coyote or something."

Or something. The white lie rolled off his tongue easily.

What was wrong with him? He made it a practice to keep his past locked safely away in his memory. That had been a long time ago, and he hadn't thought about Josie in years. Because he needed it that way.

It was a fluke that he thought about her now. His brain was tired from the stress of dealing with his family all day and then driving several hours tonight.

Quinn did not remind him of Josie. Josie had been curvy, with big brown doe eyes, and the pixiest short haircut he'd ever seen on a girl. Quinn was willowy and raven-haired, her striking blue eyes curious, but nothing at all like Josie's.

His overtired brain was making connections where there were none. He needed a distraction. "If you won't talk to me, how will I stay awake?"

"Fine." Quinn folded her arms over her chest. "What do you want to talk about?"

"Why don't you want to tell me the reason you went into broadcasting? Were you trying to impress a college guy?" He wiggled his eyebrows.
