“What is happening?” he asked with a laugh.

“Could you do me a favor?” I asked.

“Sure...”

“Could you tell Eli I want a dance?” I said.

“I seriously have no idea what’s gotten into you right now,” he said. “But this conversation has been very enlightening.”

“How so?”

“It’s one of the weirdest ones I’ve ever had. I think I might be in love with you.”

I laughed.

And so did he. But he was staring at me with a very confused expression on his face.

What is happening?

“You’re full of surprises, Scarlett. We should talk more often. But I’ll go tell the Halloween Henchman you have the hots for him.”

“That’s not what I said!”

But Leo was already weaving through the dance floor.

“So?” Sophie said.

I wasn’t even sure where she’d popped up from.

“Did you memorize his height?” She handed me my soda.

I nodded and took a sip. “I really doubt it’s him, though. The kiss thief is silent. Leo doesn’t know how to be quiet.”

Sophie laughed. “Fair. But he does text youa lot.”

“Yeah.”

“Did he seem interested in you?” she asked.

I shrugged. “I was really focused on memorizing him. And looking back at it, I was pretty sure I was acting very weird about it. And he said he might be in love with me.”

“Whoa, what?”

“I was talking almost as much as him and it put him off kilter or something. I think I broke him.”

Sophie laughed and looked at Leo grabbing a drink. “He really could be your kiss thief. And he is super hot.”

I barely heard what she was saying. Because Leo and my dad looked like they were having a heated conversation. They kept pointing in my direction. If the punch bowl had still been there, I would have been worried it would wind up on Leo’s head.

“Did he say anything else?” Sophie asked.

“He mentioned that Zach and Luis have both had crushes on me in the past.” I was very distracted by what was happening at the bar. “Is Leo arguing with my dad?”

Sophie looked over at the bar. “Yeah, your dad did not seem pleased about you dancing with someone other than Jacob.”

I guess it wasn’t quite dark enough in here.

“Did Leo say anything else?” she asked.
