Wes stared after Janet as she walked up the stairs and even after she had turned the corner and disappeared down the hall with his sister. Why did he have the feeling he’d screwed up beyond repair?
“So, whatcha do to piss her off?” Troy asked.
“Nothing. Think you can get me a towel? You almost live here,” Wes said.
Troy laughed and went into the power room off the foyer then threw him a towel. “Told you it wouldn’t be easy with her, but you’re doing far better than I thought you would. So...still like her?”
Wes rubbed his hair dry and glared at him. “Of course! What kind of question is that?” he snapped, thoroughly annoyed.
“Just asking. Some guys lose interest as soon as they get to know a girl. Happens all the time,” Troy said, shrugging.
“Not gonna happen with me,” Wes said.
