NINETEEN

CHRISTIAN

Charm a girl. Dance with a girl.

Leave a girl alone in the middle of a ballroom because you lose all ability to function.

I glower at the back of the man’s head in front of me, trying to get a hold of myself. Two minutes has turned into five, the line at the open bar several people deep, and I’m impatient to get back to Megan, even if it means making an even bigger idiot of myself.

But that damn dress.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone more beautiful than her tonight. I don’t know if it was the clothes or the hair of whatever shimmery makeup she’s dusted along her chest that makes her body glimmer every time she catches the light, but every time I look at her, I have to keep reminding myself that this isn’t real.

I could barely breathe when I saw her back at the house. Could barely think.

I still can’t.

I look over my shoulder, trying to catch a glimpse of her through the crowd. It’s the last thing she needs right now, for me to betray her trust in this. In us. Our rules were agreed. Signed. Toasted to. And from the beginning, she made it clear that this was an important night. One I’m at risk of ruining because I can’t keep my hands off her.

As if feeling the tension radiating from me, the man in front of me glances back and returns the polite smile I quickly adopt before turning back around.

I can’t help but feel amused at it all. I mean, this? This is what she was worried about? A bunch of old snobs starved for gossip? She handled them like a pro. I could have spent all night watching her do it, but I guess then I would have missed having her all to myself. That was even better. The champagne, the dancing, the food.

Food. I should get her more food.

I glance around for a server, only to catch the eye of Megan’s mother instead, standing near the band. She beams at me as soon as I see her, offering a wave as I smile back. I don’t know what I expected from Emily, but she’s been nothing but warm to me. And is scarily good at getting money from people. I may or may not have bid a chunk of my savings on a boat.

And for the first time, I feel that twinge of guilt Megan’s always talking about. That her happiness for us will be short-lived, but before I can feel too bad about it, my phone vibrates in my pocket, and I sidestep out of the line to check it.

Andrew.

“I’m at Megan’s fundraiser,” I say when I answer the call. “So unless this is an emergency—”

“I feel like I should have a speech.”

“What?”

“When I propose,” Andrew says. “I should have a speech.”

God help me. I tilt my head to the ceiling, watching the chandeliers glint. “You don’t need a speech. You just ask her to marry you.”

“But I should say something first.
