I took a long, deliberate step backward.
Spencer’s face fell. Then he gave a sad sort of smile and dropped his hands from my body.
I grabbed his wrist and tugged him toward the front of the house.9
It was a wonder we made it into the house without anyone noticing. There was a moment when we almost got caught, but it was Milo leaving through the back door with another tray of food and he didn’t pay us any attention. I dragged Spencer up the stairs, and he crowded me the moment we stepped into the hall. I didn’t hesitate to go into his room, simply pushed his door open and let our momentum carry us through. I turned fast as soon as he shut the door.
