until one summer changed everything. ExcerptDevon"So I have not seen you around." Devon looked at Erin, wanting to tell her nothing mattered except her, but not here, not now."It looks like we have both been busy, " Erin said, steely eyed now, arms tightening. "Well, you guys have fun, " Erin said, walking away."Erin, wait!" Devon ran beside Erin, grabbing her shoulders and facing her, looking into her always irresistible eyes.
"It's just a date, Erin. Matt asked these girls out. I didn't even ask her out." Devon's eyes widened in a plea he hoped she would see. Could she hear him?"But you said yes, " Erin said in a slightly trembling voice. She looked up at Devon, her eyes looming large in the autumn night. Devon's stomach tightened as he spoke. "Matt and Shannon just wanted someone to go out with her friend. It's just an innocent get-together, Erin.
It's nothing, " he said."It looks like something from here." Erin frowned and brushed her long blonde hair off her chest and over her shoulder."Erin, why is this bothering you? Why are you acting this way?" Devon scrambled through his mixed-up thoughts to try to defuse the situation."Guys can be so dumb, " Erin said with furrowed brows and a grimace. "We're just friends, Devon. It doesn't matter. C'mon, Kathy, let's go."Kathy narrowed her eyes at Devon, and sashayed away from him towards her friend and down the sidewalk.
Devon gazed at her, his hands in his back pockets, wondering whether Erin wanted to tell him something. He watched them walk away, trying to process what just happened. Mature audiences only.
