Unlike you guys, I haven’t tried my particular talent since Granny May signed me up for belly-dancing classes when I was fifteen.” And, by the way, why the hell did I consent to that? Or decide I loved it? Never mind, he’s buying it. In fact, he seems to be hot on the idea. Are his eyes glowing? And is Cole’s tongue hanging out? This is why I didn’t want to dance in the first place! “Anyway, ” I rushed on. “I’m going to find a private place where nobody can see to laugh at me while you beat this tent”–or, more likely, these two idiots–“into submission.Jennifer Rardin
