I arched a brow. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“I don’t think you live life by that motto.” She poked my chest with her finger. “I don’t think you’ve really been enjoying life until recently.”

Opening my mouth, I started to argue that, but what in the hell could I say? She was right. “Touché.”

Her grin spread as she pivoted back around and started walking again. “I really wish you’d seen that Pegasus. Seth, it was amazing.”

“It’s just a horse with wings.”

Gasping, she shot me an arched look over her shoulder. “I don’t think we can be friends anymore.”

“That’s okay. I have no intentions of being just friends with you.”

Josie rolled her eyes. “Are you going to start training me again?”

“Why not?” I could do the hand-to-hand stuff, but the elements? I really didn’t think I should be pushing it. “But we’re leaving in two days, so that’s going to make training hard.”

“True.”

We didn’t talk for a few moments as we neared the dorm, and I figured we wouldn’t have a lot of alone time in the next two days. Right now, Deacon was fanboying all over Hercules. Man, I felt for Luke, who looked like he wanted to gouge his own eardrums out and throw them on the floor, stomping on them, when we left. It wouldn’t be long before everyone reconvened to make plans for our trip. There was something I wanted to talk to Josie about.

“Hey.” I caught her hand and hauled her back to me. “You okay?”

“Yeah. Of course.” She placed her hand on my chest and tilted her head back. “Why do you ask?”

“Really?”

Her nose wrinkled. “Really.”

“Okay.” Guiding her off to the bench, I sat and tugged her into my lap. She tensed for a moment and then relaxed. “I saw the way you looked when Alex and Apollo saw each other.”

Josie’s eyes met mine for a moment and then skittered away. I wasn’t having that. I caught her chin, forcing her gaze back to mine. She sighed. “Was it that obvious?”

“No.” My gaze searched hers. When Josie had locked up earlier, watching her father get all friendly with Alex, I found myself wanting to hit Apollo with akasha for the hundredth time. “It wasn’t noticeable.”

“But you noticed.”

I looped my arm around her hips. “That’s because I’m always watching you. If you knew how much, you would probably think it was creepy.”

“Seth,” she laughed.

“Truth? I stared at your ass the whole way to this bench.”

“Oh my God.” She shook her head. “You’re ridiculous, Sethie.”

“I’m honest.” Sometimes.
