We continue trading questions the entire way home, and as we pull in to the driveway, I feel like I’ve achieved the impossible: I actually know Bennett Cooper. As he puts the Jeep in park, I look up at my house and feel my chest constrict. I’ve been with him for nearly eleven hours, and I’m still not ready for him to leave.

He turns the car off and leans over to kiss me, but I reach up and put my finger to his lips. “Wait. I have another question.” He stops midway and waits for me to continue. “Why were you watching me at the Northwestern track the day you started at Westlake?”

“That again?” He settles back into his seat.

“Well, yeah. You haven’t answered me yet.”

“I have. I didn’t know what you were talking about the day Emma assaulted me in the lunchroom, and I still have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“It really wasn’t you?”

“Look, you know everything there is to know about me. And I’m telling you, I wasn’t there that day. I still haven’t been to Northwestern. Certainly not at six thirty a.m. in sub-thirty-degree weather. That’s your twisted thing, not mine.” He laughs lightly, and I want to believe him. Everything about his words and the look on his face says that I should. After all, he’s right—there’s no reason for him to lie to me now that I know everything.

“Since I’ve answered that one before—multiple times, in fact—you get one more question.”

I’m ready to go back to our comfortable question-and-answer session, so I smile and think of another: “Where is your favorite place in the world?”

He smiles from ear to ear and his eyes shine as he starts to speak. “Easy. Vernazza. It’s a small fishing village on the northwestern coast of Italy, in the Cinque Terre, and you have to arrive by train—well, at least most people do. It’s the most amazing little village. Narrow, cobblestoned streets. Colorful boats lining the harbor. Row after row of tiny, brightly painted houses built straight into the hillside. It’s spectacular.” His eyes fall on my lips and he leans forward and this time I close my eyes and wait for him. “You’ll love it there,” he says, and as we kiss, the little village comes to life with the two of us in it.
