OPHELIA

My life has been completely flipped upside down. All because of Hunter.

I’m throwing my hair up into a messy bun as I stand in front of the mirror in Max’s store. There aren’t any customers on the sales floor. I’m thankful. I can’t stop thinking about Hunter and how we’ve crossed into this unknown territory. It’s a concept I haven’t yet wrapped my mind around. Two months ago, I wouldn’t have dreamed of gaining this kind of access into Hunter’s world. I still don’t know him. Not really.

I know he lives and dies by baseball.

He takes economics.

And he hates that I walk alone at night, even if he knows I’m fully capable of handling myself.

There are probably a few other things I’m unable to think of off the top of my head but in comparison to the things I don’t know about him, it doesn’t compare to what I do know.

“Why do you look like that?”

In the reflection of the mirror, I catch Max standing behind me. He’s leaning on one of the black metal racks in the middle of the floor, using an elbow for support. He’s wearing a dark blue, short-sleeve, button-down shirt, and his hair is styled neatly to one side.

I scrunch my nose, making sure he can see me in the mirror. “What do you mean?”

“I didn’t mean for that to come across badly.” He grins, resting his head onto his bent arm. “I’m just wondering why all of a sudden you’re wearing this expression I haven’t seen on you since the day you found out our high school got rid of the two-inch above the knee rule on skirts and shorts.”

“Hey,” I quickly say, raising my finger. “That was a big deal. I had a closet full of skirts that were at least three inches above the knee. Everyone knew the two-inch rule was ridiculous.”

“That’s besides the point.” Max waves me off, pushing away from the rack. He stands beside me and crosses his arms. He’s challenging me. “Clearly, I missed something big at the game. Spill.”

Max couldn’t make the game because his sister was scheduled for surgery out in Portland. She’d asked him to dog sit her two puppies. I figured he would ask me how the game went or what happened afterward.

“The Rebels won,” I say dully.

“I know they won.” Max narrows his eyes.

Right. His boyfriend is on the team. Shit.

I look at Max through the reflection of the mirror.

I can’t help it. The corners of my mouth draw into a smile, teasing Max. He immediately catches my shift, reading my expression as if my face has suddenly turned into a flashing neon sign.

Ophelia Reynolds has slept with Hunter Moore!

His mouth jaw drops. “Shit. You gave in with Hunter, didn’t you?”

“I didn’t give in.” I laugh, surprised by his choice of words.

“Yes, you did.” He points to my face, his mouth still wide open from the news of my juicy gossip. “You have that look. The one we get when we’ve just had incredible sex for days.
