Secrets.

After Zach and I get done eating, we head back to the house. I’m pleasantly surprised when Dylan shows up a little bit later, to hang out. I haven’t really gotten a chance to hang out or talk to him since the date-that-never-happened. I mean, he wasn’t even the one who told me that the date wasn’t happening—Tristan was. So, I guess it’ll be nice to clear the air and really see how he feels.

“Hey, Dylan,” I say, opening the door wider so he can come inside.

“Hey, Zara,” Dylan says, then looks behind me. “Zach.”

“Dylan,” Zach says, then looks at me. “I’m heading to my office. You behave.”

I roll my eyes. “I always behave.”

“I’ll believe it when I see it,” he says.

Zach leaves the living room and walks into his office, so Dylan and I head over to the couch to sit down.

“I don’t think it’s you he’s worried about misbehaving,” Dylan says, as we sit down.

“Ah, well, you’ve always been the perfect gentlemen, so I don’t know what he’s worried about,” I say.

Dylan is from Tennessee. Most of the time I forget, because he doesn’t have an accent. He has spent most of his life all over the world on different assignments with his parents, so maybe that has something to do with it. He might be seventeen, but most of the time he acts older.

“I haven’t really gotten to talk to you since the whole torture training thing,” Dylan says.

“You guys have pretty much been here since it happened,” I say.

“Yeah, but it’s easy to get lost among the guys,” he says. “They have a stronger personality than I do.”

“That’s not true,” I say. “I always notice you.”

Each of the guys stand out in their own way.

“Still, some of them are louder,” he says.

I laugh.

He’s not wrong.

“I still notice you, Dylan,” I say.

His face turns a little pink at my words.

Maybe he does have feelings for me still.

I don’t know why this makes me feel giddy, but it does. If he didn’t like me, it would be easier to make a decision about which of the guys I really like.

Honestly, I shouldn’t like any of them and I definitely shouldn’t date any of them. It’s just a bad idea—a really bad idea.

“How are you?” Dylan asks. “About the whole torture training thing?”

I shrug my shoulders. “I’m okay.”

“Seriously, Zara. You can be honest with me,” he says.

“I guess I’m a little mad,” I say, letting out a breath. “Those days that I spent in that cell were scary.”

“The guys in charge said you did really good.”

“I am a good actress,” I say. “I’m a terrible liar. But when it came down to it, I was able to slip into the role of somebody else. It’s kind of scary.”

“Why did you stop acting?” he asks. “I mean, you’re obviously good at it.”

I shrug my shoulders. “I didn’t like the attention.”

Dylan grins. “It’s funny you say that—you’re always the center of attention on our team.”

“That’s different,” I say. “I like attention when it comes from my friends and family.
