In the window's reflection, I glimpse a figure standing behind me. I don't need to turn around to see who creates such a big outline-or who makes my whole body turn into a goose-bump farm. \"How do you feel?\" he says. \"Better,\" I say to his reflection. He hops over the back of the couch and grabs my chin, turning my head side to side, up and down, all around, watching for my reaction. \"I just did that,\" I tell him. \"Nothing.\" He nods and unhands me. \"Rach-Uh, my mom called your mom and told her what happened. I guess your mom called your doctor, and he said it's pretty common, but that you should rest a few more days. My mom insisted you stay the night since no one needs to be driving in this weather.\" \"And my mother agreed to that?\" Even in the dark, I don't miss his little grin. \"My mom can be pretty persuasive,\" he says. \"By the end of the conversation, your mom even suggested we both stay home from school tomorrow and hang out here so you can relax-since my mom will be home supervising, of course. Your mom said you wouldn't stay home if I went to school.\" A flash from the storm illuminates my blush. \"Because we told her we're dating.\" He nods. \"She said you should have stayed home today, but you threw a fit to go anyway. Honestly, I didn't realize you were so obsessed-ouch!\" I try to pinch him again, but he catches my wrist and pulls me over his lap like a child getting a spanking. \"I was going to say, 'with history.'\" He laughs. \"No you weren't. Let me up.\" \"I will.\" He laughs. \"Galen, you let me up right now-\" \"Sorry, not ready yet.\" I gasp. \"Oh, no! The room is spinning again.\" I hold still, tense up. Then the room does spin when he snatches me up and grabs my chin again. The look of concern etched on his face makes me feel a little guilty, but not guilty enough to keep my mouth shut. \"Works every time,\" I tell him, giving my best ha-ha-you're-a-sucker smirk. A snicker from the entryway cuts off what I can tell is about to be a good scolding. I've never heard Galen curse, but his glower just looks like a four-letter word waiting to come out. We both turn to see Toraf watching us with crossed arms. He is also wearing a ha-ha-you're-a-sucker smirk. \"Dinner's ready, children,\" he says. Yep, I definitely like Toraf. Galen rolls his eyes and extracts me from his lap. He hops up and leaves me there, and in the reflection, I see him ram his fist into Toraf's gut as he passes. Toraf grunts, but the smirk never leaves his face. He nods his head for me to follow them. As we pass through the rooms, I try to remember the rich, sophisticated atmosphere, the marble floors, the hideous paintings, but my stomach makes sounds better suited to a dog kennel at feeding time. \"I think your stomach is making mating calls,\" Toraf whispers to me as we enter the kitchen. My blush debuts the same time we enter the kitchen, and it's enough to make Toraf laugh out loud.”",
