I was in the locker room, changing out of my tights for band practice.

“You going to wear that all the way home?” I asked Lark, who was still in his long, sheer ballet skirt from class.

He smiled dreamily, loving the female role he was taking on for the fall recital. “Oh God, no. I wouldn’t want to get it dirty. Just felt like wearing it a little longer.”

“It looks good on you.”

“That’s what Henry says.”

“Does he now?”

A blush inched across his cheeks.

“Anyway…” He stood and opened his locker. “You can tell me it’s none of my business…”

“Uh-oh.” I wondered where this was headed.

“The jock you hooked up with…” He threw me a quick look. “It was Bones, wasn’t it?”

My stomach seized. Fucking hell. I glanced over his shoulder to make sure we were alone. “How did you guess?”

“It’s not hard if you watch him when you’re around.” Lark carefully stepped out of the skirt. “He can barely tear his eyes away from you.”

I swallowed, not wanting to believe it. After our conversation in the student center yesterday, he’d seemed preoccupied, maybe even distant, so I figured the whole thing had only been our usual bantery stuff. Even though it had felt like something more. Something I escaped from facing as soon as I was able. It was too much, too close to the surface, and I didn’t have time to unpack all that. Not now, maybe not ever.

“I think that’s because it’s all new for him.”

Christ, his kisses alone were enough to make me melt.

“Has it happened more than once?”

“Yeah.” I bit my lip and looked away. “But I helped him set up Grindr so he could figure it out.”

I could feel Lark staring at me. “Do you like being with him?”

“Sure, it’s hot.” Smoking hot. “And he can be sweet.”

Even romantic, which he didn’t seem to realize. That was why I called bullshit. He’d be mortified if he knew how he sounded sometimes.

“I can’t believe we’re actually talking about the same person.”

I chuckled as I shut my locker. “Right?”

“But thinking back on it, there’s been sexual tension between you for a while—all that competitiveness and banter last year.”

“No way. I never even thought about him like that until recently.”

“So you do like being with him!”

“I’ve enjoyed the hookups, nothing else. No way would Bones be a guy you’d get serious about.” At least…it felt better telling myself that. “Besides, I’m not looking for anything more than casual.”

“Why not?” He zipped up his bag.

“He literally has never dated anyone before. And I don’t have the time.”

“There’s always a first.”

“Yeah, and I’m sure the future guy or girl he ends up with will reap the benefits.” I rolled my eyes, but my stomach felt uncomfortable even thinking about it.

“Whatever you say. Catch you later.”
