the barstool and walked over, “Lyssa has weird tastes.”
“Stop talking smack about me!” Lyssa called out.
“You do have weird tastes, weirdo!”
As Missy walked over, Lexx could hear Lyssa laughing as she worked. She at least had a sense of humor about herself. The three girls stretched out on the two couches. Anna was scrutinizing everything.
“It all looks so new,” she said softly, “Like nothing has been lived in.”
Leave it to Anna to notice things like that. Lexa smiled, and once again quoted a line she had memorized for three and half years, “When we moved up here our parents decided to go all new furniture. They sold the old with the old house.”
“Huh, you’d think they’d want to keep something.”
At that moment, Lyssa walked in, “Our parents are very nomadic. When I have my own place one day, I’ll stay there and never move.”
Lexa looked up at her. She felt bad lying to her new friends, but Lyssa was right. The truth was dangerous. Moreover, not just to them. It was dangerous to any friends they had. So, Lexa let Lyssa do the skillful lying and she handled the light stuff.
“So are we going to pick this girl an outfit for Saturday or what?” With that question from Missy, they headed on upstairs to work on the new outfit.

Finding Lyssa’s house had been easy, the directions had been clear. Their house was a big gray Victorian with a well-kept yard. There was a two-car garage. Also, there was a large porch wrapped around the front of the house that ended with a gazebo on either side. One side had a porch swing. Kyle wondered if Lyssa ever sat out there. She’d look cute on it. She’d probably be reading one of those old sci-fi novels she seemed to love.
He had changed their meeting time to ten thirty and he was there right on time. He understood that Lyssa would not appreciate someone being late because she just didn’t seem like the type to tolerate it. They’d arrive at the location around noon and he’d take her to lunch before arriving at their final destination. He just hoped she would enjoy the surprise.
As he was about to knock, the door flew open and there she was. Her long, bone-straight honey gold hair was wound atop her head with a short ponytail sticking out of the middle of the bun. She was wearing a pale pink shirt and a short black skirt that made his heart race. Damn. She was also wearing heels, which looked hot, but he wasn’t sure how she’d navigate.
“Hey, we may be doing a lot of walking and climbing some stairs. You look so beautiful, but I don’t want you in pain from your pretty pink heels.”
He was worried she’d be offended by his suggestion so he was surprised when she blushed and look away to avoid his gaze. Softly she said, “I can handle the heels. Thanks for worrying.”
“Where’s your sister?”
“She’s at Missy’s with Anna. Missy’s parents are out for the day. I think they’re watching movies. Let me grab my purse.”
“If you want to bring your phone, that’s cool but you won’t need your purse. I’m paying for everything.”
Lyssa’s gray-blue eyes widened, “Um. I thought we were going Dutch.”
Kyle grinned, “I’m trying to get you to go on a date two. I am not letting you pay.”
Sighing, Lyssa folded her arms, “Your paying for me this time will not influence me.”
With a soft laugh, he leaned forward until his face was a few inches from hers. His arm above her head on the doorframe, he watched as her pupils widened. Her breath quickened and a flush stained her cheeks. Oh yeah, he was getting a date two.
“Let me spoil you. I want to.”
Her pale skin darkened to a deep red and she tried to turn away, but she just kept staring up at him. It was as if she was caught in
