Chapter 2

Brandon nudged Cam’s shoulder and pointed to a nearby coffee shop. “Go get me an almond milk latte, will you? The boys, too.” He jogged off to meet up with his friends without waiting to hear Cam’s response.

Cam sighed as he entered the coffee shop and settled in to wait in the long line, his eyes trained on the floor. At least the store was warm. He shuffled forward in line a bit too fast, and accidentally stepped on the heels of the guy in front of him.

The guy let out a yelp as he turned around. Cam felt his cheeks burn as he hastily stammered out an apology. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to—”

“Cam? Hi!” The cheerful greeting was delivered by a bright smile accented by hazel eyes and a friendly wave.
