She fanned herself. “The chemistry… Sweet Jesus, have
mercy on us. Just wow! No one would believe you two are
just friends. That was… yeah, wow.” Bea pointed at Maddox
and I. “This is exactly what I was looking for. You need
chemistry with your dance partners. You need the audience
to feel your dance even though they aren’t dancing.”
Her smile widened. “Oh, I’m so excited. Thank you,
Maddox. For doing this on such short notice.”
“Lila asked,” he grumbled, running his fingers through
his hair. “I couldn’t say no.”
Bea turned to me. “Are you guys hungry? We can grab
lunch.”
Maddox took a step back, pulling further away from me.
He grabbed his duffel bag, his jaw clenching and his body
tensing. “No. You go ahead. I’m leaving.”
“Maddox–”

at me. Without a goodbye.
My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach.
The moment between us was gone, the spell broken.
It was better that way, before either of us made a
mistake we’d both regret for the rest of our lives.
Friends?
Friends.
