Forever twenty-one wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

I heard a knock on the door. “Madison?” Hudson’s voice asked. “You okay in there?”

I dunked my head under the water and tried to answer. “Yes,” I said. I hadn’t realized I’d been crying until I choked on my reply.

The door opened and Hudson’s tanned arm reached into the shower and turned off the water. I held the shower curtain up in front of my body and looked at his face. He tore the curtain down from the silver hooks that held it in place, snapping the plastic from the holes one at a time. I wrapped the curtain around my torso and he wrapped his arms around the plastic. I fell against his shoulder and melted into him.

He put his knuckle under my chin and tipped my head up so I was looking at him. “It’s going to be okay,” he said.

“You don’t even know why I’m upset.”

“It doesn’t matter. Whatever it is, it’s going to be okay.”

He brushed a kiss against my lips, and then a second one. His lips were soft and tender, like a ripe tomato. They lingered for only a moment. I caught his breath in my own.

The third kiss was more intimate than the first two. Our bodies pressed together. I became very aware that I was wet and naked under a plastic shower curtain.

When we pulled apart, he rested his forehead against mine. “I’ve wanted to do that for a long time,” he said in a gravelly voice barely above a whisper. “Why don’t you get dressed and meet me outside?” I wondered for a second if my emotions were as transparent as the shower curtain. “If I don’t get back to that grill, our steaks are going to taste like shoe leather.”

I waited until he closed the bathroom door behind him to look at myself in the mirror. My blond hair was in clumps around the sides of my face. My eyes were bloodshot. The cool water had kept my face from turning a blotchy patchwork of red like I’d feared, but my reflection was far from my A-game.

I dried off and changed into a yellow sleeveless sundress with a drop waist and a full skirt. Yellow and white brick-a-brack in the form of a chain of daisies decorated the collar and the faux placket down the front. I slipped into green ballerina flats, combed my hair away from my face, and added a touch of mascara to my fair lashes. I was taking too long and I knew it. What I didn’t know was what I was avoiding. Telling Hudson about finding Cleo Tyler? Or giving in to the attraction I’d fought for so long?

Rocky sniffed me out and scratched the outside of the bathroom door. I let him in, closed the toilet, and sat on the lid. Rocky jumped onto my lap and licked the side of my face. I hugged him and then he wriggled out of my arms and ran away.
