One of the rules of the Club was that we had to have our meetings on Saturday nights, which wasn’t really a big deal. Ryan and I would go out on Fridays — and sometimes we spent Sundays together if the Club wasn’t up to anything. Neither of us minded.
Tracy’s laugh echoed up the escalators. I looked back and saw them all giggling at something.
Ryan studied my face as I watched my friends go off without me.
“Do you want to go hang out with them?” he asked.
“No, it’s fine.” Although I had to admit I felt a slight sting that I hadn’t been included in their girls’ day out.
He wrapped his arm around me as we stepped off the escalator. “You’re a horrible liar.”
“I am?” I leaned into him. “Hey, Ryan?”
“Yes, Miss Penny Lane?”
I exaggeratedly batted my eyelashes at him. “You’re a really good singer.”
He tickled my stomach, which caused me to respond with a loud shriek. A couple walking in front of us turned around. Before I could protest further, Ryan pulled me in tight and kissed me on the forehead.
Instead of pulling away like I had before, I leaned in even closer. Despite my pangs of jealousy, I knew that I needed to focus more on the here and now. And right there and then, I knew there was nowhere else I wanted to be, and no one else I wanted to spend my Sunday with.
