Kapitel 11: Chapter 11

“Can I offer you a word of caution? I don’t know, but he seems a little into himself. You know, pretty self-absorbed.”

“It’s more complicated than that, don’t you think?”

“Well, not really, no, I mean, he’s clearly smitten with you.”

My chest tightened a little. “You noticed something that night? Did you think he was flirting maybe?”

“Duh. Everyone saw.”

“What? They did? And they didn’t…I mean, they—”

“Hon, come on.” She got up. “Why don’t you call him? He’s been telling Dayton he’s hoping you will.”

“He told Dayton what, now?”

“Yeah, he’s been driving Dayton crazy the last few days.” She smiled and pulled me up. “Come on, call Dali and I’ll find something else to do.”

For a second, I was too dismayed to speak. What had I been hoping for? Approval?

“I wasn’t talking about Dali,” I finally said.

“What? Then who?” Now she was having trouble containing her excitement. “Tell me!”

“Davinder,” I said in a breath.
