KAYLEE Surely the universe wouldn’t be that cruel? I squeezed my eyes shut as though that would somehow change the narrative. But nope. Somebody up there was determined to ruin my day. “Kaylee?” Caleb called again. This time, his voice sounded closer and as sharp as a whip. Oh, this wasn’t good. I felt Jace tense behind me. The arm he’d been using to pin me to his body tightened. His other hand, the one still inside my shorts, didn’t move though, and I wasn’t sure if he did that so Caleb’s gaze wouldn’t be drawn to it and know what we had been doing, or if Jace actually kept it there because he wanted Caleb to see it. Seeing how much Jace kept insisting I moved past Caleb, I was leaning more toward the latter. That didn’t sit well with me. I had already been humiliated on this train
