It’s a date… Her words had been echoing in her thoughts ever since Lucas left the booth, and she’d watched him as he disappeared into the ever-increasing crowds. What on earth had made her say that? Even if it was a date… and she wasn’t totally sure if it was or wasn’t.

“Of course it is. He asked you out, didn’t he?” Ally asked, looking wildly smug as she watched a child fruitlessly throwing rings at the blocks, missing them every time. Brooke and Nicholas had gone home, and Ally had climbed over the counter and insisted on helping Ember run the game. So far she’d spent most of her time asking questions about Lucas.

“Yeah, but it’s not like we’re going out anywhere. Maybe he just wants somebody to hang around with while he wanders around the fair.” Ember frowned. “He didn’t say it was a date.”

“But he didn’t say it wasn’t either.” Ally’s smile widened. “And he didn’t contradict you when you said it was.”

Ember dropped her face into her hands. “Ugh. I’m so embarrassed. Maybe he won’t turn up.” Though the thought of that made her feel even worse. “When did this whole dating thing get so hard?” she asked Ally. “Remember how easy it was at school? A guy would write a letter and drew a ‘yes or no’ box on it then passed it to your best friend. Why can’t it be like that?”

Ally chuckled. “I can’t see a guy like Lucas Russell using a note to ask you out.”

The little boy threw his third ring, and it hit the back of the stall, landing nowhere near the wooden blocks. Ember gave him a smile, then offered him a plastic toy from the basket. “You did great,” she told him. “Those rings are tough, you definitely deserve a toy for trying.”

When he left and Ember had taken the next customer’s money, she turned back to Ally. “How do you know what kind of guy he’s like?” she asked.

“Well I guess I don’t.” Ally tipped her head to the side. “Because you’ve been keeping him a secret. How long have you known him anyway?”

“Since he came to the school, he’s the firefighter I told you about.” No need to mention the embarrassing incident at Megassey’s. Or the even more embarrassing non-date. A woman needed some secrets.

Ally’s eyes widened. “He’s the firefighter? The one who carried you down the ladder?”

“He didn’t carry me down, I got down myself.” Okay, so that wasn’t strictly true, but Ember really didn’t want to add any more fuel to Ally’s fire. “Anyway, do you really think this is a date?”

“You have no idea about guys, do you? Which is crazy considering you lived with one for so long.” Ally shook her head. “Although maybe that explains a lot. Will wasn’t exactly a man, not when compared to Lucas.” She rolled her lip between her teeth, staring at Ember. “Anyway, from what I can tell, Lucas doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would be afraid of asking a girl out.
