River was gone, probably busy farther back, but Chuck was standing there, watching the screen, and Gabe was sitting at the table, buried in his phone. I took a moment to check them out. Even in the dim light, they looked so amazing that I wanted to jump like a teenager. In person, Chuck was even more handsome than he'd appeared on television. He wore tattered jeans and a T-shirt, with an unbuttoned long-sleeved black shirt over it.
And Gabe Ashford, my least favorite Fiery Boy, also looked better than I'd expected. He was actually rather cute, with a thin face, brown eyes, and spiky blond hair. His outfit was all black, including his jeans, his T-shirt, and even his leather biker's jacket. I'd never really paid much attention to him, but now I could see that I might have been wrong. Wow! It was a good thing River and Buck weren't there or I probably would have made inhuman noises and wet myself.
