Friday night, we would break into Pause. This Friday night. Kendra had formed a solid plan with maps and charts she'd left in the dead drop. Ryan had finished my mask. Everything was set.
I was terrified.
In school on Friday, I couldn't stop fidgeting. Neither could Ryan. In business class, he bounced his pencil up and down on his notebook, tapping out a nervous beat. He caught me looking in the middle of our teacher's lecture and gave me a slight nod and a wink.
My heart stuttered.
Elizabeth caught the whole exchange and covered her grin with her long braid.
A few minutes before the bell rang, she leaned over and hissed, "Okay, that guy wants you naked."
I snorted and shook my head while the rest of me heated and tightened in all sorts of places, totally on board with that idea.
