Chapter 11

“You’ve been avoiding us.”

Tucker looked up from the brief he’d been staring at for the past forty-five minutes to find Tyler in the doorway of his office. He automatically saved the file and rose to come around the desk for a hug. “I’ve been busy.”

“We’ve all been busy with our respective rehearsals, but nobody’s seen hide nor hair of you since your talk with Piper last week.”

Which implied everyone else had gotten together without him and discussed the nature of that talk. Super.

“I’m not avoiding you.” Liar, liar, pants on fire.

Tyler dropped into one of the club chairs. “I can see the smoke coming off your ass, Tuck.”

He rolled his eyes and kicked back against the front of his desk. “I’ve just been focused on the competition.”

“Right.” Evidently deciding to drop the subject, she relaxed back into the chair. “Y’all’s Charleston was spot on.”

“Wish I could’ve said the same about Brody and Adele’s tango.”

Tyler laughed. “Brody did say she kept trying to lead. I think he’s relieved to be done.”

“He doesn’t like dancing with anybody but you.”

“True enough. There’s nothing quite like dancing with a partner who gets you.” She fixed him with a Look. “You and Corinne get each other. It shows. And not just to us.”

He didn’t know which part of that statement to respond to first. “What are you talking about?”

“Haven’t you been following the town blog about the competition?”

“No, why?”

“There’s a poll about whether you and Corinne will get together.”

Tucker stared at her. “You’re kidding.”

“Nope.” She circled around his desk, fingers flying over the keys for a moment before pivoting the monitor toward him and pointing. “After that second performance, the ‘Yes’ vote is up to 66%.”

Right there on the screen was a close up of him and Corinne during their jive performance, eyes locked, with a helluva lot more than focus shimmering between them. He felt it every time he looked at her, but it was a whole other thing to actually see it right there in living color and know it was out there for everybody else to see.

“People are actually voting on our theoretical love life?”

“Everybody loves love. And honestly, you two are the only possible couple who could come out of this competition. Well, I guess Charlotte and Chad, but they didn’t stay in long enough for it to matter. But you and Corinne? You’re going to the finals. And there’s a sizable chunk of the town who are absolutely shipping you both.”

Tucker scrubbed a hand down his face. “Corinne definitely hasn’t seen this.”

“How do you know?”

“Because she’d panic and bolt. Being the center of attention has been hard on her.”

“How are things going with you two?”

“What? I’m just supposed to tell you? What if you’re in on the pool at Dinner Belles?” he joked.

Tyler brightened. “There’s a pool?”

“I don’t actually know, but c’mon. There’s always a pool.”

“I’ll have to stop by and put in my bet.”

“I wouldn’t bother. Mama Pearl did the setting up here. She’s got the inside track.”

“Oh
