Ethan's POV I spun around, nearly dropping my phone, to find Jess grinning at me like a Cheshire cat. Relief flooded through me, followed quickly by embarrassment. "I'll call you back," I squeaked into the phone, hanging up before Hannah could respond. Jess's eyebrows disappeared into her hairline. "Well, well, well. Having an interesting conversation there, Romeo?" "How... how long were you standing there?" I tried to sound casual, but my voice cracked. "Long enough to see you squirming like a teenager watching his first adult movie." She crossed her arms, smirking. "Who's got you all hot and bothered at," She checked an imaginary watch. "Eight in the morning? Let me guess - Lucy?" "No, not Lucy." I shifted uncomfortably, trying to will away the lingering effects of Hannah's words.
