The door had barely closed when Colby rounded on him and thunked his chest with her clutch. “I laid up the ball. You were supposed to dunk it.”
Clasping her elbow, he moved them out from in front of the door and around the corner, out of view of the pub’s windows. “I was getting ready to leave. And you don’t have reshoots tomorrow. Why’d you lie?”
“Any time he touched me tonight, your shoulders went from here”—she shimmied her nearly bare shoulders where they were, then hiked them up around her ears—“to here.” She rummaged in her clutch for something; he suspected for the hair tie that was on her wrist. “Someone’s possessive.”
Not in the way she thought. The jealousy tonight, that day in Chess, the words that had escaped then, that almost had tonight, all to save the thing—the joy—he didn’t want to lose. “Colby—”
“You’re not polyamorous, that’s fine, and you don’t have to be to make me happy. Polyam people can be in monogamous relationships.”
“It’s on your wrist.”
She shoved her purse at him, freeing her hands to tie up her hair as she continued to ramble. “Miles seems like a good guy. He’s not bi-phobic, and I’m sure he also wouldn’t care that you’re not polyamorous.”
He didn’t care that Miles wouldn’t care. “Colby—”
Hair in a messy knot, she dropped one arm and held the other out, back toward the front of the pub. “You want a shot at Dr. Silver Fox, go. Before someone else snatches him up for the night.”
He finally let the words go. “It’s not him I’m possessive about. It’s you.”
