After a dinner full of awkward silences, and a clean-up session that involves quite a few more, Hunter and I sit in the living area, looking anywhere but at each other. I know Hunter probably didn’t mean to take advantage of my attraction to him in order to embarrass me, but he did, and now I’m stuck here with nowhere to go and nothing to do.

Restless, I move from the table and sit on the bed, plopping myself down on my back so I can stare up at the ceiling. The sun is setting, casting a gorgeous glow through the windows. It’s beautiful here, but so boring.

Luckily—or unluckily, depending on how this goes—my need to break the silence trumps my lingering embarrassment.

“What do you do when you come down here? The entertainment options are…limited,” I say, trying to be as charitable as possible.

“Sit outside in front of a fire,” he says. The chair he’s sitting in creaks as he shifts on it. “Read. Do some carpentry here and there. I come down here to give my mind a rest, so I don’t have a TV or any movies. I don’t bring my laptop. There wouldn’t be much point to making the drive if I was going to do the same things here that I do at home.”

“May I make a suggestion?”

“Sure,” Hunter replies with a soft chuckle.

“Next time bring down a full deck of cards. And a board game, just in case.”

“Noted.”

“What do you read?”

“What?” he asks.

“You said you read,” I explain. “What do you read? I don’t see any books here.”

“I bring one with me,” he replies, like it’s the most obvious answer in the world.

Surely he didn’t bring one with him this time. “Do you have any games on your phone?” I ask, desperate.

“Nope. It’s a burner.”

“Ugh,” I say dramatically as I flop my arm on the bed. “We can’t even play Truth or Dare. There are only so many dares we could do in here all alone.” That comment makes my mind go to some very pleasant and yet disappointing places, because think of all the sexy dares we could get up to if only Hunter was into me. Sometimes I think maybe…but if he was interested he would’ve said something when I mentioned the flirting in the club last night being real on my part, but he didn’t. Ugh, what a waste of alone time with a hot, wonderful guy. “We’d have to play Truth or Truth.”

“Okay, let’s.”

That gets my attention. I lift up my head to see what’s going on over there. “You sure?”

He nods. “Absolutely.”

“Any questions off limits?” I ask, rolling onto my side so I can get a good look at him.

“Not for me,” he replies. “You?”

“No. Although rapid-fire questions make my brain-to-mouth filter go completely haywire, so there’s no telling what you’re in for right now.”

“I think I can handle it,” Hunter says. “Unless you can’t.”

“Ahhh, challenging me does actually work, as you found out earlier, so yes. Let’s go.”

“Favorite ice cream flavor,” he asks.
