[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com) I knew maybe two of the people in our living room, and barely even them. Cass had filled the place like she always did when she was in a hosting mood, cheap string lights, mismatched chairs dragged in from the patio, a Bluetooth speaker on the counter, and a big plastic bowl of liquor punch she called “nurse fuel.” I brought and tried to stay out of the way, which was usually the unspoken arrangement. She handled the people, I made sure no one spilled on the carpet. The first time I noticed him, he wasn ’t doing anything loud, just standing in the kitchen entryway, talking to one of the girls from Cass ’s program, a red cup in hand, smiling at whatever she said like he already knew where the conversation was headed. Black guy, probably a couple years older than me, built like someone who played a sport but didn ’t need to talk about it. Calm and smooth, something about how comfortable he was in his own body made the rest of us look like we were still waiting for permission to exist. Cass brought him over with two drinks.“Trey, this is Jared,” she said, touching my arm like I ’d somehow wandered off.“Jared, this is Trey. He’sin that kinesiology elective I was telling you about.” I shook his hand, warm grip, relaxed of course.“Hey,” I said. He gave a slight nod, an easy smile.“Appreciate you guys having us over. Good energy in here.” Cass beamed at that like the party had just passed some invisible test. She leaned in and said something else to him as I stepped back to the fridge. I wasn’t needed for the rest of that conversation. There was music and people laughing, a couple girls dancing near the window like it was a bigger room than it was. Someone from her class had brought two bottles of wine and no corkscrew. Trey pulled one from his back pocket, said it was a habit. Everyone laughed. Cass was bouncing between clusters of people, topping off drinks, making sure no one felt left out. She was wearing the silver dress with the little bows at the shoulders, the one she said made her feel “hostessy,” and it showed more leg than she usually let outside the bedroom. She wasn ’t trying to be flirtatious. She just lit up when she had a full room to orchestrate. And she looked good doing it. I remained at the edge of it all, watching her pass him another drink before it was empty. I told myself it was just her being polite. She perched on the arm of the couch next to him as the group around them laughed at something he said, her legs crossed and swaying gently. She looked happy and relaxed. And when she touched his shoulder, just lightly, just for emphasis, and didn’t even glance in my direction. I told myself it was nothing. The way her hand stayed there, though, curled lightly into his shoulder while she laughed, that was just Cass being animated. She touched people when she talked. It didn ’t mean anything. He was the one leaning in, grinning wider every time she said something clever, his eyes never drifting far from her mouth. I stood by the counter sipping a drink I didn ’t even want, pretending tobe part of it all. Every now and then I ’d catch someone ’s eye and nod like I was following the story. But I was really just watching her legs, watching the hem of that dress creep higher each time she shifted her weight. Trey didn’t seem to be trying anything. He wasn ’t all over her. But he kept her close. By ten-thirty, people had started tri

FAQs

Why does the narrator believe Cass’s actions might mean nothing at first?

The narrator tells themself Cass is simply being polite and animated, touching people when she talks, while Jared does not seem overtly aggressive at first.
