“What are you hiding, Kyle?”

When he didn’t answer, she walked around him to the back corner of the room.

Leaning against the wall was the missing poster of her, performing on the ice in her skating costume from the World Junior Championship.

“Why...?” she asked him.

“Why didn’t I throw it out?” he filled in the blanks dully.

Jessica nodded. “Yes. I asked you to.”

He shrugged. “It’s a good picture. Maybe I wanted to decorate my locker room with it.”

“I don’t get it, Kyle. It’s an embarrassing picture. I was a stupid girl who did everything wrong back then—”

“Like hell you did.” He uncrossed his arms and ran a hand through his hair. He wasn’t looking at her. “I had a crush on you.” In a lower voice, he added, “Maybe I still do.”

She clutched her throat. “You do?”

“You think that kiss was by accident?” he shot at her.

She focused on his chest. His beautiful, muscular chest that she’d laid her cheek against less than a day ago. A small noise came from her throat. She didn’t want it to be so, but that kiss had been a nicer kiss than the one her boyfriend—fiancé—had given her after he’d proposed to her. Her cheeks flamed.
