and that was the problem. It might do them some good to talk to each other once in a while, and spare their students while they were at it.
    The set of math problems due for stats didn’t really count toward that total. The stats professor required a new section of them every week. It was the paper for Biology 2 and the project for Physics that were the problem. Add that to the homework for her composition class and every-day practice for track, and it felt like she hardly had a spare moment.
    Not that she was officially complaining. But she was a little thankful that she didn’t have to try to juggle a job on top of all that. Or maybe track was the job. It was definitely paying her bills.
    Aileen sighed and pulled out the stats homework, setting it in the open space at the center of her desk and staring down at it.
    She couldn’t concentrate.
    Since the party, she’d only see Tyler at practice. He’d shown up on Monday morning acting like nothing was wrong, and she wondered if he even realized why she’d been upset.
    She shook her head, and turned back to her work, absentmindedly chewing at the end of her pencil.
    Tap.
    Tap.
    Tap.
    “Speak of the devil,” she muttered to herself.
    It had to be Tyler. He was the only one who tapped at her window like that. Aileen set the pencil down across the book open on her desk, marking her spot. Rolling her black computer chair away from the desk, she slipped off the chair and onto her feet. At her bedroom window, she pulled back the curtains and, as expected, spotted her favorite pair of dreamy eyes staring back at her. Tyler had snuck into her backyard and was tapping on the window, leaning up against it as he made the cutest puppy dog eyes at her when she came into view. Aileen tugged on the window and pulled it open, just enough to poke her head out.
    “What’re you doing here?” She was happy to see him—she was always happy to see him. But the party still gnawed at her, sneaking its way into her thoughts at odd times, and she wasn’t quite sure she was ready to forgive him for it.
    “Brr, it’s freezing out here. Can I come in?” Tyler faked a shiver as he flashed his infamous smile her way.
    Despite herself, Aileen laughed at his attempt to get inside, his charm always finding a way of making her smile. Even when she was annoyed with him. “All right. Go to the back door and I’ll let you in. Can’t have a champion athlete freezing to death on my back porch.”
    Tyler quickly disappeared from view. Aileen followed suit, pulling her head back inside the window and sliding it shut, making sure to lock and it and draw the curtains back over it before making her way through her bedroom door.
    She hurried to the back door, pulling the small window curtain to the side to double-check Tyler was there before unlocking the door and pulling the handle to slide it open. Tyler wasted no time ducking in through the door, spinning himself around Aileen, and helping her slide the door closed. Aileen turned herself around to face him, her back almost up against the door as she tipped her chin up so that she could look at his face. His hand moved to lean against the door, and his body hovered over her as he moved his face in close, letting his hot breath tickle her face. He lifted his free hand to catch one of hers, cupping it gently and moving it to his lips. Tyler kissed each knuckle while keeping perfect eye contact with Aileen. He wanted her to see that he cared for her, even if he didn’t say it out loud.
    “You are cold.” She’d thought it was just a trick to get inside, but his fingers were freezing against hers, and she turned their hands so that hers wrapped his instead, trying to warm him up.
    “It’s January in New York State,” Tyler pointed out
    “Come and get warm, then,” Aileen said, starting toward her room with their hands still linked.
    In her room, she sat him down on the bed and gave him a blanket to wrap himself up in, but she didn’t join him
