Chapter 23

Ugh, Juanito’s party, though. I’d just remembered he’d been waiting. The idea of sharing Miguel suddenly didn’t sit well with me, but I tried to remind myself that he wasn’t my boyfriend. I had no right to act like this. “By the way, do you like parties?”

Miguel’s face lit up like holiday lights and gasped. “I loveparties. I mean, I’m sureyou know by now I’m not a shy person.”

I let out a chuckle. “Oh, I do.” A wave of relief calmed me because the first step of Juanito’s idea was a success. Miguel would definitely agree to go.

“Actually, there is. A little one, though. But there’s all the drinks you can want. It’s at a friend’s apartment. My best friend, in fact. He’s really cool, and it would just be the three of us.”

“Sounds like it could be fun. But…what about Carlos and Mirna?”
