Set up: While Steven and Kait argued who was up next to throw darts, Michaela wanders over to the framed photographs lining the walls in a grand tribute of days-gone-by. Alan decides to join her. Enjoy the snippet…

Alan’s right arm brushed against her, his body so near she could smell the sea salt and the spicy scent that was all him.
“Anymore headaches?” he asked, peering at her with concern.
“No headache.” But her heart picked up a few extra beats whenever he drew near, but she kept the
phenomenon to herself.
“Hmm… that’s good,” he said and took a step closer, his hand landing on her waist. The dark centers of his eyes dilated until she thought she would melt into them. Again she had the distinct feeling he wanted to kiss her, but fate didn’t seem to be on their side.
“Alan,” Kait whined, drawing his attention back to her with a deep sigh of regret.

Yes, I know. Kait is a pain in the potootie! lol

I’ll just join the chorus: Darn it, Kait! Go sit on Steven’s lap or something! 😀
Kait’s very interfering, but very believable.

Oh, so close. Don’t you love oblivious friends like that. Fun snippet.

Someone needs to put Kait in her place, and fast.
Carrie-Anne,

Oh my gosh darn goodness Kait, how many men’s attention do you need? I think I’d fake a headache and a need for fresh air : )
Millie,

Kait needs a distraction of her own. Nice scene.
