Mom: I enjoyed meeting your professor.

What?

No.

No, no, no.

My head snaps up as my roommates descend.

“Hey, penguin girl!” Kat shouts.

“That was crazy cute,” Jules agrees. “What’s wrong?”

I lower the phone, numb, and find Sawyer’s gaze through the crowd.

He pushes his way through to me.

“Ladies,” he says. “I’m going to borrow this one—”

“Did you talk to my mom?!”

Kat’s eyes go round and Jules gasps.

Sawyer doesn’t flinch. “Yes.”

“When were you going to tell me?”

“Sometime after you finished your performance.”

Sawyer went to my house. No, the new apartment. He stepped into my space, talked with the people I’ve fought my whole life against.

“Why?”

Now he looks past me, up into the stands. “Because I wanted to let her know that you’re all right.”

“So you told her what I’m doing here? You sat down and had a full conversation about me, without me.” He starts to pull me toward him, but I glance past him to Daniel and Andy, and some other guys who seem to be with them. “I’ll catch up with you later.”

“Tonight.”

“Or tomorrow.”

His gaze narrows and he steps toward me, tugging off his mittens. One hand slips in my jacket, the other under my shirt so his rough palm caresses my back.

“Don’t try to push me away.” His lips caress the shell of my ear. “I’m an expert, I can recognize it for miles. And I won’t let you.”

With a look that’s warning and tender at once, he turns and heads toward Daniel and the others.
