The SUV’s taillights went on as we approached, which meant Sam had

slipped into the driver’s seat, forcing me to share the back with Savannah.

Shit. It wasn’t the time for her to play matchmaker. The emotions

“There’s a pair of old sneakers.”

I heard a zip as Savannah opened the bag. “Thank God, my feet are

killing me and super gross. You’re a sai
