I shook my head. “I’m not moving into a party house.”
“Shay’s there. It’s not like we rage the way we used to.”
“No.”
“I’m gonna mention it to Kason.”
“What are you gonna mention to me?” Kason said, stepping up beside us with Shay.
“I told Giselle to move in with us,” Thayer explained.
Kason’s eyes widened. “What?”
“See? It’s a crazy idea,” I said to Thayer.
“She’s still at your parents’ house,” Thayer said.
“Yeah,” Kason said, knowing that and not having a problem with it.
“She doesn’t want to go back to her condo,” Thayer continued.
“Mom and Dad’s house is fine for now,” I said to Kason. “I don’t know where Thayer came up with this crazy idea.”
“We have an extra room,” Kason said, almost as if he was on Thayer’s side and thought this was a good idea.
“I’m fine,” I said.
“Another girl in the house would be amazing,” Shay added.
I glared at her, and she shrugged. Traitor.
“It’s not like you two haven’t lived together before,” Thayer said, his eyes moving between Kason and me.
“I appreciate you looking out for me,” I said, stopping this once and for all. “But my parents went to a lot of trouble to make me feel safe and secure under their roof. I’m in no rush to leave.”
“Well, if that changes, we’ve got a room for you,” Kason said.
“Thanks.” I exhaled a deep breath, dodging that bullet. “I think I’m gonna head out.”
“And miss the after party at our house?” Kason said.
I looked at Thayer. “So much for no more parties.”
“How else is Thayer ever gonna find himself a girlfriend?” Kason said. “I invited the Canadian snowboarders.”
Knots twisted in my stomach before my eyes shifted to Thayer. He suddenly looked uncomfortable.
I had no right to be upset. No right to be jealous. He should be meeting girls. Especially girls who liked the same stuff as he did. I hadn’t broken things off with Gino. Thayer could do whatever he wanted. I just wished it didn’t sting so much. “I think I’m gonna head out.”
“Do you need a ride home?” Thayer asked.
I shook my head. “I just saw my parents saying goodbye to their friends. I’m gonna go wait by the door,” I said to Thayer before looking to the rest of them. “See you guys later.”
In the coat room, I pulled my long black coat off a hanger and slipped it on.
“It’s freezing out there,” Thayer said, appearing out of nowhere. He untucked my hair from the back of my collar. “Stay inside until your parents get the car.”
“You don’t have to wait with me.”
