“It did feel like home for a split second before Senka vanished. Have you tried his cellphone today?”
“Still goes straight to voicemail. And I checked everywhere, I even drove to Copeland last night looking for him. But he's gone. No one's seen him.”
“Has he done this before taken off without warning?”
“No. Not like this. He has come and gone before, but not like this.”
“I blame you.”
“Well how was I supposed to know Senka was going to show up at the party and walk in on you and Jessie smooching.”
“Grrr!” I smacked my head with my hand.
“Come on we're running out of time. You need to pack. I can't pack for you.”
“Looks like you've already done it for me.” I said looking at the suitcase that was full of neatly folded clothes and a few books.
“Fine be stubborn. Anything I've missed Cam will have to buy for you when you're there.” “I don't want anything from him.”
Emmett rolled his eyes and picked up the suitcase. “Hurry up. You're going to love it.” “I doubt it. Just being around Cam makes me sick to my stomach.”
“That's not true. You don't hate him. You don't gawk at people you hate.” he said smiling. “I don't gawk.”
“So what do you call it when you can't keep your eyes off of him during dinner each night?” “Shut up. Do you ever stop talking?” I had no idea what he was talking about. I did not gawk at Cam.
“You wearing those?” he asked eyeing my pyjama shorts and vest top.
“Why not?” I replied dryly.
He opened the door and waited outside in the corridor.
“Ruby,” he called. “Or would you like Cam to come and get you?”
“I'm coming.” I shouted. I took one last look at my unmade bed that called to me. I pulled the door shut and gritted my teeth at the very thought of being alone with Cam. I was not going to enjoy this one little bit.
