My eyes shifted to "

"Yes, you are"

"No, I’m not"

Kira turned to look at Liam and flashed him a smile "We’ll be there"

Liam nodded at her, and sloalked around the circular drink station I knehen he stopped directly behind me, but I refused to turn and look at him until he said my name

"Moon," his deep voice ruth

Turning around, I kept my annoyed expression as I waited for whatever he would say When nothing else caht"

A sly smile crossed his face as he nodded and backed away--likehe needed to hear froht, then," he said confidently

"Liam!" I harshly whispered when he turned "I said I won’t"

"Heard you the first time, Moon," he called over his shoulder, and I stood there with my mouth open as I watched him leave

"Why does he do that?" I asked when Kira stepped up beside me "Why does he act like he knows hed, but she sounded annoyed "Probably because when it comes to Liam Taylor, you’re kind of transparent"

"I am not transparent I tell him exactly what he needs to knowthat I don’t want him or to be near hie, but nowhere in the tone of your voice or in your eyes do they agree hat your lips say Or, at least, I think that’s how Liam put it last weekend"

My head whipped to the side, and I shot her a look "He said that? When?"

Kira still wasn’t facing me, her forehead was scrunched in confusion and she waswhat she’d just told me "Yeah Yeah, that’s how he said it"

"When, Kira?"

"On Sunday after that party at his friend’s resort or whatever it was You were your norize to hihed and said that"

"Seriously?"

Kira’s only response was to raise her eyebrows in confirmation "Besides, he knows just as well as you and I do that you will be at the bonfire tonight No matter how much you want him to stay away from you, you can’t stay away fro to all these places because I don’t want to be left at the condo alone!"

She turned and elbowed ister "Keep telling yourself that when you’re with hiht," she said as she walked away to help the custo"

I turned back to find Kristi standing in front of me, exactly where Liam had just been "What?"
