“Okay, okay. I get it. You think I was a Goody Two-Shoes.” I crossed my arms.
Victor laughed. “I know you’re a Goody Two-Shoes. You’re scary strict about following every code and rule for your historical house. I also have to show up to things nearly fifteen minutes early when we go together. We always stop to read every instruction a couple of times through when we’re playing a game.”
“Some of those are just normal things, Victor.” I turned on the truck’s heaters even though it was only in the sixties outside. “Let me guess, you were one of those students who had a secret pet in their dorm.”
His eyes widened in surprise. “Well, it wasn’tmypet. It was the whole dorm floor’s hamster. How do you know that story?”
“Your mom. She said it was a crazy fine you guys paid when the RA found the hamster.”
“Poor Rufus.” Victor sighed sadly.
“So, that wasn’t your first time being chased by campus security?” I twisted in my seat, so I was facing him.
“We weren’t being chased.” He hit the blinker. “I think to you, Miss Rule Stickler, simply being corrected felt like being chased.”
“They had a siren!”
“That was barely a siren.”
“You’ve climbed roofs before then?” I felt a little sad that this new, risky experience we’d shared was maybe old news to him. A bubble burst in my chest.
“Nah, that was the first time I’d climbed onto a roof, actually.” He grinned at me, eyes studying me briefly before looking back at the road.
“Same.”
“But not the first time I’ve been called out over a speaker,” he said with a gleam in his eyes. “I can say, I’ve never seen someone nearly fling themselves off a roof to avoid a security guard in a golf cart.”
“I was about to fling myself off that roof, wasn’t I?”
We both burst out laughing. Tears pooled in my eyes, I was laughing so hard.
Victor was shaking. “You abandoned your favorite shoes,Liv.”
