About the Author
Geek Abroad
Normally, calculating sums on command makes me feel like a circus seal
balancing a ball on my nose while clapping my flippers and barking for a fish.
But for the first time, I felt a rush of pride at my odd, geeky skill. It certainly
seemed to impress Henry.
“Thanks,” I said, quickly taking a gulp of my punch to hide my grin, as I
contemplated just how attractive an English accent was.
As soon as the thought was loose and rattling around in my brain, guilt surged
up within me. Dex had only been my almost-quasi-boyfriend for less than forty-
eight hours . . . and already my head was being turned by some random English
guy? Admittedly, a very cute random English guy, but still. What kind of an
almost-quasi-girlfriend was I turning out to be?
