Commencement

“So who do you date? What does the untouchable Levi McCrea do when he’s not inviting would-be suitors in for not-dinner?”


“Suitors?” Levi’s mouth pulled into a smile. “Have you come here to woo me?”


“If that’s what it takes to get you to say yes.”


“I’m probably going to regret asking this, but I’m curious. How would you woo me into saying yes?”


Andrew hid his excitement by rising slowly to his feet. There was always the chance that Levi might mock him afterward, but somehow, he didn’t think he would. Even at the worst of their debates, there’d been an undercurrent of respect. Levi would never have allowed it to progress this far, just to rip into him later.
