I couldn’t shift my mind from the game. I was constantly on edge any time Sean came near me, or if I looked and caught Adam’s knowing eyes, or caught Tess’s and Ellie’s raised brows of encouragement, and, oh God, did Ellie just give me a thumbs up? Subtle as a sledgehammer.

Chris’s voice jolted me from my thoughts. “You right to lock up tonight?”

He was another one to add to the mix. I still hadn’t forgotten how angry I was at him for not telling me about my invite to Sean’s. What else had he been deciding on my behalf?

“Where are you going?” I asked.

“A group of us are headed up to the Point, for old times’ sake.”

“Yeah, well, I guess I have no prior invitations so it looks like I can close.” I watched for a reaction, but he didn’t even flinch.

“Thanks, Amy, I owe you one.” He ruffled my hair in that annoying way boys do. I sneered as he went back into the main bar. I would still have words with him, but just not right now. I turned to see Sean standing before me, placing his empty glass on the bar.

“Nice hair.”

I must have visibly flamed, as I cut him a searing look that only seemed to amuse him more.

I changed the subject, running my fingers through my hair. “So, didn’t get a lecture from Chris last night?”

Sean crossed his arms and leaned on the bar. “What about? Keeping you all to myself yesterday?”

It would have been a perfect opportunity to flirt back; it was an open invitation waiting for me to wipe that devilish grin off his face. Instead, I fought the flame of crimson and settled for my usual snarky comeback.

“Not brave enough to say that in front of Chris, though, are you?”

“Ha! Chris doesn’t scare me. It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve come to blows.”

“Really?” I asked, surprised.

Sean looked on reflectively. “Year Ten, we had a duel in the school ground over Sharnie Maynard.”

“Over a chick?” I asked. “Now why doesn’t that surprise me? Who won?”

“Neither. It turns out she had the hots for Toby all along.”

“Oh dear!”

He shook his head. “Broke my heart.”

“Well, if it’s any consolation, my best friend had the massive hots for you.”

Sean stilled, his brows furrowing. “Who?”

I sighed. “Tammy Maskala.”

The blankness never left his face, just like I suspected all those years ago: he didn’t even know she existed.

I rolled my eyes. “About so high, mousey brown hair, big blue eyes, lurking in the shadows every place you went.”

“Don’t know her.”

“Well, trust me, she loved you!”

“Is that so? So what’s Tammy up to these days?”

Something unexpected jolted in the pit of my stomach, a sudden urge to shut up about Tammy.

I shrugged. “I think she’s married.”

Liar!

“Probably got a couple of kids.”

Liar!

“Probably doesn’t even live here anymore.”

Liar! Liar! Liar!

As far as I knew, Tammy had never moved away and I had never heard of her mythical marriage or children, but for some utterly disturbing reason I didn’t want Sean asking questions about her.
