"TO SURVIVING THE FIRST round of competition!"
Tucker lifted his beer automatically in response to Brody's toast, but he was only half listening.

When he'd texted Corinne earlier with an invite to a celebration for the victors of Round 1 of Dancing With Wishful, she'd said she'd stop by after work if she could. But after half an hour of watching the door to Speakeasy, while trying not to look like he was watching, she was a no show. And that disappointed him more than he wanted to admit. He worried it was more than her just bailing to study. Maybe he'd pushed her too far with the kiss. That explosive, amazing, better than all of his high school dreams combined kiss that he hadn't been able to stop thinking about. She'd been right there with him on that rooftop. But maybe she'd talked herself out of taking a risk to see where things went. And that would be a damned shame.
