Panic seized me like sharp claws creeping up my spine, spilling into my neck. This guy couldn’t be sitting here. It was impossible for me to leave since the guards were watching me. I had to do something quick to make him go away. Nothing came to mind. I shook my head. “You can’t sit here.” It didn’t sound like I meant it: weak, not intimidating at all.

His head leaned sideways, probing me with his eyes. His lips curved slightly, half smiling. “And why would that be?” His voice was deep, beautiful. His hand still hovered in front of me, waiting for me to take it.

And why would that be? I didn’t have an answer. Think fast. “Someone else is sitting there.” Lie, lie, lie.

“Well, I can at least sit here until they get back. I’m sure whoever it is won’t mind.” He inched his hand a little closer.

I looked past him, toward the hallway in the back. The security guard was looking at someone’s ID. Bronx wasn’t coming yet. I glanced back at Tyler. I swallowed, hard, slow. “I’m um.” I gazed down at his waiting hand, then back up at his eyes. “I’m Abby Tate.” I grabbed his hand.

Like a bomb exploding, shockwaves blasted through my body. My world was moving, pulsating, changing. I wasn’t in the club anymore. I was somewhere else. I was dreaming, but it was real, and I was in it.
