After that sudden attention, the stares had vanished, replaced by the party's chaos.
The music swallowed the room again, like nothing had ever happened.
But Ren didn't go back to the pool.
No. He walked toward me. With her. His hand were wrapped around hers.
My eyes went straight to their hands. The way his thumb brushed over her knuckles so casually, like he wanted eveyone to know.
And then…God, no, she waved at me.
"Renny."
RENNY.
Did she just call him Renny?
My stomach flipped so hard I thought I was gonna puke on the floor.
And then, like he was stabbing me in my heart, Ren actually laughed.
"Is this the June you told me about?" she asked, leaning into him like she already owned him.
He told her about me. He actually told her about me.
My chest tightened, I could barely breathe.
"Yes," he said, grinning. "That's her."
Her smile was sweet. "He said you two are working on music together. That you're so talented."
