Chapter Ten

“You okay?” Monday morning, Nat stood behind Josie in the school cafeteria lunch line. “The look of death doesn’t become you.”

Josie shot her supposed friend a dirty look.

Nat took an apple from the fruit bar. “Don’t suppose your gray complexion and bloodshot eyes have anything to do with dancing at Remington’s?”

Beyond mortified, not to mention still hungover, Josie focused on the chicken stir-fry Paula had put on her plastic tray.

“Mike—that UPS guy I’ve been seeing—was there. Said you put on quite a show.”

“Remind me at the end of this school year to move. I’m tired of my private life being everyone’s business.”

Nat thanked Paula for her loaded tray. “Then you probably don’t want to hear that gossip also has it that you and Dallas disappeared for a good thirty minutes out in the parking lot. Or that his ranch foreman drove your car home.”

“Shh…” Turning her attention to Paula, Josie said, “I’ll have green beans, too, please.”

“The rumors are true?” The cafeteria worker’s grin was even cheesier than Nat’s. “You and Dallas Buckhorn are, like, a couple?”

“Of course not.” How upset would Josie’s principal be if she up and quit midyear? Not only didn’t she frequent Remington’s, but she definitely had never indulged in a parking lot liaison. Worse yet, Josie’s mind refused to stop replaying the mortifying public tryst. Memories brought with them the scorching brand of Dallas’s fingertips on her behind.

“She’ll deny it,” Nat said, adding her apple to her filled tray, “but check out those red cheeks. I’m telling you—something’s up.”

Josie elbowed her friend’s ribs. “Knock it off. I’m as single as they come and planning to stay that way.”
