CHAPTER

-8=2-x

Wade peeked into the forum hall four days later. Thirty minutes until he had to stroll through those doors into that room and sound like he had a PhD in Astrophysics and Cosmology. Panic skittered over his nerves and transformed into moisture along his palms.

He paced away from the entrance. His brother continued to play on his phone, looking much too relaxed on the hard concrete bench. Grady had finished instructing his last class for the day and decided to see his brother perform like a circus animal.

Wade wiped at the sweat leaking from his forehead. “This is the last time I let a woman with incredible legs talk me into anything.”

His brother glanced up, amusement clear in his smile. “So you're blaming her now?”

“Yup.”

His brother snorted. “Ten minutes ago you told me no one could make you do anything.”

Wade paced to where his brother sat and smacked him in the back of the head. “Shut up.”

Grady laughed. “I don't know why you're nervous. You've taught classes before, and will again because of the observatory. This looks no different.”

“I'm not nervous.” He shoved his hands into his pockets and wiped the sweat off inside them. “I'm annoyed I've been snowed into doing all this.”

“Go over your lecture notes.”

He'd given them to Sophie and she'd promised to print them out after looking at his chicken scratch, but where the hell was she? He needed time to mentally prepare. He should make sure the presentation he'd loaded onto his laptop worked. Wade didn't do talks like this, because his temper and patience was too short. He hated the blank stares then the feeling that followed—he was talking gibberish.

Why did he let Sophie convince him into making a fool of himself? Everyone would know. His breath shorted out as that fear spiked his pulse into overdrive. His knees lost their steadiness, and he had to plop down next to his brother as the world grayed, closing in around him.

“Shit,” Grady said. “Breathe.”

Wade covered his face. It was his own damn fault. He'd talked himself into a fucking frenzy. Though his palms remained damp, his skin suddenly felt encased in ice. A shiver shot down his spine. Logically he knew he was on the verge of a panic attack set off by stage fright of all fucking things. The only way to head it off was to calm the fuck down, but he was thirty minutes away from making an ass of himself in front of students and probably colleagues. They'd look at him and know his brain had failed him. Would again if he didn't stay on top of it.

No. They won't.

Just calm the fuck down.

His rib cage squeezed around his lungs and his breath rasped in, out. Grady's words dribbled in a garbled tone so he tried to focus on that instead of the way his heart pumped like a fucking race horse.

Then warm, soft hands covered his. “Wade.” Sophie's voice cut through the fog. “Look at me, sweetie.”

He jolted at the endearment, his hands dropping to his lap.
