I am at the kind of fun party I used to dream of attending. And I want to leave.
I find the only empty room in the house. In the basement, there’s a small laundry room. I go in there and let a few silly tears of self-pity roll down my cheeks.
“Are you okay?”
I almost jump out of my skin. A guy is standing behind me in the laundry room. I wipe my cheeks as fast as I can, hoping that he will have no idea I’ve been crying. “Yeah,” I mumble, not trusting my voice.
I turn.
Oh. Wow.
Sawyer Tremaine is standing there. All of him, in this very small room. I can’t believe I didn’t notice him. Admittedly, he was hidden by the door, and I swung it shut without turning around. He is folding clothing and setting it neatly into a white plastic laundry basket. Jeans cling to his hips and follow his amazingly long legs. He’s wearing a white t-shirt. He has a build that is not unlike Hugh Jackman’s when the actor plays the character of Wolverine. A beer is standing on the dryer. “Hi, I’m Sawyer.” He holds out his hand.
“I know. I mean, I’m Claire.” I take his hand and awkwardly shake it.
He studies me with his stunning violet eyes. He has long, black eye lashes despite having blond hair. “Are you sure you’re okay? You look like you’ve been crying.”
“No. My eyes just got watery. No idea why. It just happened.” I add, floundering, “It’s probably my contacts,” I add.
He folds a shirt and puts it in the basket.
The significance of that suddenly hits me. “You live here?”
His brow lifts. “I don’t usually go to parties and fold other people’s clothes.”
“I guess not. But why would you even want to do it at your own party?”
“The dryer was finished and I didn’t want the stuff to wrinkle.”
Logical, that’s true.
Sawyer holds out the beer. “I just opened it and haven’t drunk any.”
“I don’t drink,” I say quickly.
“Okay. If you’re sure.”
“I am so sure.”
That makes him smile. He is really gorgeous. In a confined room, his gorgeousness is making me want to hide in a corner and try to disappear.
That was high school Claire. New Claire, with a makeover, should—
A crazy thought hits me.”
