After they take off, one of the girls from the rockers says, “So, Dani, who were those guys?”

“My brother, Damon; our best friend, Chase; and another friend, Lacey. The boys are here on a football recruitment trip.”

“You should introduce me to that Chase guy later,” she says.

“He’s a high school senior,” I explain. Because this girl is older, like twenty-one.

“He sure doesn’t look like one. And who cares? He’s fine.”

I tilt my head at her. “You would date a younger guy?”

“One who looked like that? Definitely. Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed your not-so-little brother’s best friend is hot.”

I can’t help but laugh. “Oh, I’ve noticed.”

“Boys at my high school didn’t look like that. Is he legal?”

“As a matter of fact, he turned eighteen just last week.” And what a birthday it was. But I’m interested to hear her thoughts on this. “He’s actually not just my brother’s best friend. He’s mine.”

“Oh, the plot thickens.”

“So, you really wouldn’t care that he’s so much younger than you?” I ask.

“Who would care about that?”

“You don’t think people would give me crap about it?”

“About what?”

“About the fact that he’s still in high school?”

“Is that why you’re not together? The age thing? Are you that much older?”

“Five months. But I’ve always been a year older in school.”

“Oh, I get it,” she says. “You were one of those girls.”

“One of what girls?”

“Well, if I had to guess, in high school, you prided yourself on the fact that you dated older guys. I went through that phase when I was a junior. When I thought only college guys were good enough for me. I thought high school boys—or the ones at my high school anyway—were too immature. But then I came to college and realized age doesn’t matter so much as the person. I’ve dated older guys who are more immature than younger ones. I got a mature vibe from him.”

“And my brother?”

“Not as mature, but smart. And he’s definitely a charmer.”

I roll my eyes. “You’re right about that,” I say.

“Hey, Dani.”

“Yeah?”

“If you do decide the age difference is a problem for you, then give him my number.”
