My mother, Susannah, Jeremiah, and I watched Susannah's favorite Alfred Hitchcock movies in the rec room with all the lights off. Cam took his cell phone out of his pocket and said he'd better get going. He looked at me like he was expecting something, and I couldn't figure out what it was for a few seconds. He was right, the summer was almost over. I was just like Rose on that stupid makeshift raft.Ĭam cleared his throat and said, "You're leaving soon. Here I had this really great guy who actually liked me, and deep down inside I was still hung up on Conrad. Because the truth was, when I looked at Conrad, all I felt was a yearning that never went away. To Cam I said, "When I look at Conrad, all I feel is disgust." "See, you hesitated." "No, I didn't!"ĭid I? Had I? I was sure I hadn't. "No." It seemed like everybody was wanting to know where things stood with Conrad and me. I could feel a flush rising up my chest and all the way to my cheeks.
"Did you invite me over here to make him jealous?" As soon as they were gone, Cam sat straight up, and I did too.
