‘Trust me.’ Damien stood and held out his hand the same way he’d done earlier.
‘All right.’ Savannah lowered her hand into his and he pulled her up from the stool, closing the space between them. Savannah’s breath caught in her chest. He brushed a strand of hair off her face, his finger leaving a line of heat across her cheek. If they hadn’t been surrounded by people, she would have thought he was about to kiss her. Or maybe he was about to kiss her. Right here, in front of everyone.

Courtney stared at Brett, feeling like she could get lost in his green eyes. Then she realised what she was thinking and she looked away, shaking the thought from her head. They would be stepsiblings soon. She couldn’t help her reaction to him, but it wasn’t appropriate.
Brett tried to say something, but the music drowned out his voice.
‘What?’ Courtney screamed, leaning towards him and cupping a hand around her ear. Her hand brushed against his shoulder and the contact made her stomach flip.
‘Want to get out of here?’ he asked.

‘So, what did you do last night?’ Courtney asked Peyton as they passed the show. ‘I didn’t hear you get back.’
‘Just hung out with a friend.’ Peyton replayed the night in her mind. After the fireworks at Myst, Oliver had said he was sick of his father watching his every move, so they’d gone to another club. The drinks had flowed all night, so everything was hazy, but they couldn’t keep their hands off each other. Since Oliver lived with his parents and Peyton lived with her sisters, Oliver had the brilliant idea of getting a room.
She smiled at the memory of what had happened once they got there.
