turned my hat around, and did it. I started to sing the lyrics, with a little douchebag dance. Fuck me, no one better see this.
    Her mouth dropped open as I sang the words just as they did. Hell, I even added hand movements.
    “Oh!” She squealed and clapped her hands with an infectious laugh. “This is amazing!” She joined me at the chorus.
    When the song ended, I turned down the music and gave her my scariest face. “You tell anyone what just happened here, I will deny it for the rest of my life.”
    “Promise.” She giggled and beamed at me, and that made it all worth it. I turned my hat back around and smoothed down my collar. “Can I ask how you know the words?”
    “I live with a woman, who loves all music.” I pulled into my driveway. “A woman who sings all the time. You tend to pick up the words after hearing them eighty-seven times.” I opened my door but noticed she didn’t. “What?”
    “Shouldn’t you take me home?” I saw her eye Emily’s car. “I mean, I don’t want to overstay my welcome.”
    “Mads, get out of the car.” I wrapped my arm around her shoulders as we climbed the stairs. “Just because I don’t see you much, doesn’t mean I don’t want to spend time with you. I’ll take you back later, but for now you’re staying.”
    Her face lit up, then she looked past my shoulder. “Doesn’t that witch look like she’s spanking that ghost?”
    “Pete,” I hissed as I steered her away from the dirty scene.
    A male voice from the kitchen prompted me to step in front of Maddy. I opened the door and found Travis nursing a beer as Emily sprinkled cheese on top of a homemade pizza.
    “Oh, hey, man.” Travis nodded at me as he took a swig of his beer. He didn’t rise out of his seat like a man should do. “Wow,” he said when he saw Maddy, “you must be his sister, because you’re a mini Seth.”
    “I am,” she replied and smiled proudly.
    “Hey, Maddy,” Emily said while she brushed her hands clean. She moved over and gave her a hug. “Hey, baby,” she said to me and gave me a kiss on the lips. Then she mouthed, “Be nice.”
    “Oh my God, Emily,” Maddy said, following her over to the counter, “Seth took me to meet Zayn Malik! I got to listen to him sing, and I got a bunch of pictures.”
    “Seriously?” Emily grinned at me. “From One Direction?”
    “Yup!” Maddy pulled out her phone. “Look!”
    “One what?” Travis asked and downed the rest of his beer. Both girls turned to look at him. “Is that a person?”
    “Band,” they both answered together.
    Garrett came into the kitchen but stopped when he saw Travis, who looked mighty comfortable at the table.
    “Hey, Garrett.” Travis stood to get another beer, but Emily beat him to it. She pulled out three and handed us each one. Garrett gave her a quick hug before he eyed me.
    “Hey, Maddy.” Garrett waved. “What are you guys looking at?”
    “Don’t ask,” I muttered in fear they’d play the song again. “So, Travis, what are you doing here tonight?” Emily shot me a look, but I acted like I didn’t see it.
    “I came over to borrow some flour,” he said into his beer. This guy had zero respect for me. “Guess I got caught up having a drink with Emily.”
    “Or two,” Garrett added, and Emily glared at both of us.
    He picked up the container of flour and placed his beer on the counter. “One and a half,” he stated, then turned to Emily. “I’ll return this later. Thanks, as always.”
    “Anytime.” Em gave him a smile, but her cheeks were pink from blushing.
    Once Travis was gone, she turned to both of us. “Really, guys? That was rude.”
    “He’s hot,” Maddy chimed in. “Does he always wear his shirt open like that?”
    “Yes,” Garrett muttered as he sank into a chair.
    “Maddy.” I scowled at her.
    “What?” She watched him walk through the woods. “It’s not like I stand a chance. I’m just sneaking a peek.”
    Oh fuck . “No peeking.”
    “I’m fifteen,
