I huff.

Charlie glances over. “What’s up?”

“Ava played Seven Minutes in Heaven when we were in seventh grade.”

“Okay, Ava,” he says with a note of admiration. “Don’t be judgy, Roo.”

“I don’t care that she played. I care that I’m only hearing about itnow.”

“What did the group poll reveal?”

I twitch my nose and say nothing, which makes Charlie smile.

“Why were we even talking about Seven Minutes in Heaven anyway?” I grumble.

“I asked you if you used any of the moves you tried to put on me in the makeout closet.”

“Oh my gosh, stop. It’s a storage room, and I didn’t put any moves on you.”

He reaches out to rest a hand on my forearm. “You didn’t?”
